President stresses great educator's call to 'discern' things

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 27 -

Books should never be silenced, President Sergio Mattarella said Saturday marking the centenary of the birth of Catholic priest and great educator of the poor Don Lorenzo Milani, who turned his school at Barbiana near Florence into an engine of emancipation.
The president's call against censoring books was seen as a reference to a recent 'deplatforming' incident involving Minister for Family, Natality and Equal Opportunities, Eugenia Roccella, at the Turin Book Fair.
"The school at Barbiana lasted all day," said Mattarella at the site of the landmark educational establishment in the Mugello area.
"It tried to inculcate the desire to learn, the willingness to work together with others. It tried to instill the habit of observing the world's things with a critical spirit.
"Without ever shying away from discussion, without pretending to silence anyone, still less a book or its presentation.
"In short, it invited to learn to discern things, to work things out".
Family Minister Roccella, a pro-life and anti-abortion campaigner, was shouted down by a group of pro-choice young women at the Turin Book Fair last week, and prevented from presenting her new book.
