The Secretary General of the Guild of T/C Teachers, Burak Mavis said that children “cannot be covered!”
Next Tuesday at 18:00, with the central slogan “Stop poverty, fanaticism and disappearance” the guilds of T/C teachers and teachers, Ktös and Ktoeös, and with the support of about 40 organizations and guilds, will march on a central road.
As reported by the occupied, among the 40 are PTK, KEK, KKD, KNK, independent road, all the guilds of the broader “public sector”, private sector guilds, bank employees’ guilds, “municipal” employees, doctors and nurses.
“We will all go out on the streets together and will not allow those who condemn our society to poverty and poverty and try to remove our children from their identity,” said the president of the Guild of T/C Teachers, Sel.
The aim of the political interventions imposed on Turkish Cypriots is to separate the Turkish Cypriot community from its identity, he added. “This goal is supported by interventions in the education system. We will take to the streets together and raise our voices and say “stop” against those who ignore our secular education and secular social structure. We witnessed this intervention once again yesterday. On Tuesday at 6pm we say ‘won’t pass’. “
The Secretary General of the Guild of T/C Teachers, Burak Mavis said that children “cannot be covered (SA: to put a headscarf)!” If the “state” cannot, he added, protect children, teachers will do so.
What they live, continued, is not a “issue of clothing”, but it is a struggle to protect children’s rights in their development and secular education.
“It’s the light of science that brought us here. Together, we will continue to defend what we believe, reacting to guidance through children. ” Saying that in the past there were discussions about the headscarf in Turkey, Mr Mavis said: “We saw this work in Turkey” and pointed out that the process aims to create a new polarization through children.
The public is not against individual preferences such as the headscarf, but rather against the identification of children with religious symbols before completing their development, he added.
“We have no disagreement with the scarf. However, we cannot argue that children under the age of 18 have free will. We know that they are not developmentally capable of making their own decisions. We do not marry children under 18 years. We do not give them a driving license. We do not allow them to vote. In the same way, in the context of completing their development/adulthood, religious symbols must be evaluated. “
Children’s religious costume preferences do not develop free will, but with family or guidance by groups, and this pedagogically means emotional abuse, the T/C educator-trade unionist noted.
Burak Mavis also strongly criticized statements on the topic of the headscarf made by Erhan Arikli, president of Mrs, who said to discuss the matter in the context of individual freedoms, “but he cannot even defend compulsory religious courses as optional.” Mr Arikli’s goal, he added, is to provoke a confrontation in society. “He says (Mr Arikli) ‘three states, one nation (SS: Turkey, Azerbaijan, pseudo -state). In Azerbaijan and Tajikistan, children are forbidden to wear religious costumes. “
Meanwhile, the president of the Guild of Teachers (KTçs), Selma Eilem and the Secretary General of the Guild, Tahir GiKKKEBEL have complained to the “police” over the threats they received on the occasion of the headscarf.
