A video that shows the indoctrination that Cuban children receive in schools was shared on social networks, where it has generated a multitude of criticism.
In the recording, made by the teacher of a fifth grade classroom, you can see a teacher who is a member of the Communist Party who visited the classroom to talk to the minors about the "honor" of being a militant.
"Maintain a correct line of life, of honesty, of selflessness, of altruism, almost everything that the commander said," said the woman when a child asked her what she must accomplish in the future like her.
An interesting moment occurred when a child asked her about her love for Cuban history and she linked the topic with emigration, saying that there are people who go to the United States or another country, but continue defending their roots.
"Although your parents, in your case, take you to another place, or in my case, I go to another place, but it is always something that you have to carry inside, that you are Cuban, your homeland is Cuba," he stated. .
The video clearly shows the boredom of the little ones, who, totally oblivious to the old woman's tirade, remain silent while their teacher, clearly upset, scolds them because none of them can think of a question to ask.
"Total silence, I don't understand anything," he said with notable displeasure.
When no student took the step, the teacher insisted.
"That's the part that I like the most, that when we have to say and express we don't express, we stay silent," he stressed ironically.
Cuban children are subjected to strong political indoctrination from an early age and not only at school.
In August, theFidel Castro Ruz Center offered "summer courses" for children, so that they could immerse themselves in the life of the deceased dictator.
At the local headquarters, in a luxurious mansion in El Vedado, the minors received workshops and activities related to Castro. Many parents, in a hot summer with few entertainment options and very high prices at amusement parks, decided to take their children.
In recent times there have been several cases of parents who refuse this ideologization to which Cuban students are exposed from the moment they enter the education system.
In September, the lawyerManuel Viera assured that his daughter will grow up free of indoctrination although his life depends on that.
"Today Brenda begins her story and I ask God that everything is different... and that if it does not change we will not have to become pioneers in this hell. My daughter will not learn doctrines and ideological concepts like her father. My daughter will grow up free of decide the direction he will take in his life here or in Antarctica... even if my life depends on it!" he stated.
In April 2022, a Cuban mother who identifies herself on Twitter as Lily AR,He exploded against the empty ideologies and political rituals taught to his son. at school.
"I have mixed feelings, disgust, shame, sadness. Today they put my son's headscarf on and he had to learn the typical communist shit, something like this: For the guidance of Martí, for the guidance of Fidel, for the socialist homeland, Moncadistas always ready. I fought against everything," he commented in a tweet.
"Why do I have to limit myself to explaining to my son that it bothers me that he says those things? He is small and I don't want politics or my way of thinking to be a burden on his little head. But then why doesn't 'school' is also limited? Why do I have to accept that my son is indoctrinated?" he questioned.
What do you think?
