Education and Merit Minister Giuseppe
Valditara said Saturday that the state should be a civil party
in legal proceedings for violence against teachers to protect
the image of the educational mission of school.
"If someone stands up and punches a teacher I will propose that
the ministry become a civil party in the criminal trial," said
the right-wing League minister speaking at his party's political
training school in Milan.
In this way, attackers "will not only face the teacher but also
the state in order to pay for the damage to the image of the
educational mission of the school," he said.
