The Women’s Commission of the magisterial organization Eduquem, has condemned today, Friday, the alleged insults against the Puerto Rican magisterium made by political analyst Carlos Díaz Olivera in the program “Alexandra at 12” (Telemundo Puerto Rico).
“On 3 days of March 8, International Working Women’s Day, we remind you that 85 per cent of the teaching staff are women who, for the most part, have also had to care for their sons and daughters while offering their classes. From Friday, March 13, 2020, when the closure and quarantine was announced, the teaching staff continued to work and sustain education without having the resources, clear instructions, materials or technological knowledge.Many used their cell phones, photocopiers and tried to reach the students.No one expected a pandemic.No one told us what to do, but our commitment always overcomes any obstacles because unfortunately we are used to working with our resources and putting our time and money into it. public school is still standing, ”members of this commission have indicated through written expressions.
They further argued that: “The teaching staff is not responsible for the corruption of the country and that in almost a year the Department of Education has not complied with preparing the schools for a safe return. We have not stopped working “We followed the instructions given by the dE to work using Teams, even when we were not paid for the internet or paid for electricity.”
“It’s very easy to sit and talk badly about the Puerto Rican magisterium. Will he also shout at the Harvard, Berkeley or Stanford professors who are still online? Mr. Díaz Olivera must retract his expressions or in case on the contrary, their participation should be canceled on radio and television. “Analyzing” and insulting are two different things. That’s enough! The teacher has a woman’s face. On the other hand, the animator Alexandra Fonts he must distance himself from the expressions of his guest “.
