L'idiozia di un gruppetto di docenti Andrea Romano, oggi,
sulla Stampa , riprende il tema della ormai famosa lettera dei docenti della Sapienza sulla visita del Papa a Roma.
Si riferisce al loro atto come "l'idiozia di un gruppetto di docenti", e ne trae un articolo per parlare del Partito Democratico e delle sue dinamiche interne.
Sono perfettamente d'accordo con Romano. I professori sono stati idioti.
Sono stati idioti a pensare che una lettera interna al proprio rector would remain confined within the University.
idiots were hoping that someone took the trouble to read their letter, and review their arguments (perhaps by reading what he said Feyerabend, and trying to understand why Ratzinger was quoting).
were fools to assume that someone would have also asked their views on the whole story, and would grant them the same space that was given to their opponents tear them apart.
were fools to imagine that any politician would have defended them from the accusation of being-nothing professors who had obtained the position for the recommendation, and not one of the best representatives of the Departments of Physics in Europe.
were fools to believe that some reporters would have bothered to ask some questions, so as to find out if the original signatories were 67, the adhesions were more than 700.
were fools to trust that someone would remember that when Ahmadinejad went to Columbia University, has been heavily contested.
Yes, yes, they were idiots.
were idiots to forget to be in Italy.
