About teacher lists

So is it necessary or not to draw up blacklists of teachers who took part in election fraud?

The arguments of those who believe that it is not necessary boil down to moans about the supposed 1937 year. And I am deeply convinced that such lists are needed.

Of course, such black and white lists are needed not only about teachers. We need about judges, about prosecutors, about cops (policemen). But with teachers the situation is special. So he lied, falsified it, and, confident that no one noticed anything, went to teach our children.

In a country where simply being honest requires one to be heroic, the only thing society can do is express condemnation. Not giving a hand, giving a slap in the face - this is all from the vocabulary of the 19th century. How else can we revive the institution of reputation?

In a country where neither the court nor the elected authorities will protect your dignity, you can only fight on your own. Face to face with lies. And for once, you are not alone. There are several hundred of you, with or without white ribbons. Or maybe several thousand or millions. But there are still more liars. The only thing we can do is call them by name.

And just don’t shout about the fact that if the teacher refuses, she will lose her job. Is work worth a good name? Here Sergei Magnitsky, maintaining his good name and honor as a lawyer, died in prison. And here is work.

My journalists at the KRJ also periodically whine: “If I don’t write trash, I’ll be fired.” So what, I also have a rare profession - a journalist. Zoya Svetova has managed for years to write the truth about the most monstrous violations. And Politkovskaya was killed. And you're talking about work.

Reputation is what we should put on the highest pedestal. Otherwise, it’s a pipe.
