Rome, September 23 (LaPresse) – “I don’t understand the controversy” over caps on foreigners in school classes. This was Senate President Ignazio La Russa’s comment on the sidelines of the conference “From Nino Martoglio to the Present Day, Pasta alla Norma as the Cultural Identity of the City of Catania.” “The goal seemed to be shared by everyone,” he added. “I’m convinced that integration isn’t helped by putting people of ten nationalities and a few scattered Italians in a class. It’s better if our children, whether they’re the children of future Italians or the children of current foreigners, but who live in Italy, if they don’t speak Italian well, are given the opportunity to integrate by being with many Italians. So I think that’s wonderful.”
School, La Russa: “No more Italians scattered in the classroom, that doesn’t help integration.”
