JUDGE SAYS THAT EDUCATE A CHILD IN GALLEGO is useless and denies a mother in a divorce case, transfer their daughters to school due to Vigo immersion "in Galician, a language different from that have been educated so far. "
The Galician writer and journalist Manuel Rivas, about this nonsense, writes the following article published in El País, on 19/11/2009:
" USELESS TONGUE"
You are mistaken, sir, owner of No. 6 Alcorcón court when he proclaimed the lack of "public utility" the Galician language. In a caricature of Castelao, a farmer says, "Deus Xustiza gives us free!". Perhaps he was thinking of you, sir. Note that useful and forward are "subordinate" languages.
Look are sighted in the stories Cunqueiro Alvaro Galicia there are characters that as a last wish to call in the coffin, in addition to the Bible, the mess will Civil Code if they have to litigate in the afterlife. In view of such recoil time, I hasten to ask for the last trip a copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in addition to the English Constitution (emphasis in Article 3, paragraph 2) if the boatman Charon puts heavy , dispensing, and he denies the "public utility gallego" in the Hereafter, following the doctrine of his lordship.
Since we are on the true narrative of the stories and the last will, allow me a brief history. An old farmer sends for the notary to make final testament. He says: "From the ground, leave a third for Ramon, third to Mary, third for Shell, one third for Manuel, another third for Andrew ..." The notary interrupts: "But not many thirds? And the farmer replies," You do not know how big the earth! "As happens with language something like that. That there is room for todas.Que not weigh in head. That there is no useless language.
Useless, useless, we will not, sir. There are many people that we normally communicate in Galician and do not consider ourselves completely useless . As is the case even in the judiciary, some are less futile than others, we do what we can, but respect. Yes, we have a minimum education of respect. Rocked our parents, we grew up and told us to scare stories in Galician fear. And they were not useless, believe me. Thanks to them, I have no fear, your honor.
In his thesis on the concept of history, says Walter Benjamin: "There is no document of civilization which is not at the same time a document of barbarism." I used to not really understand this sentence, I swear, but I have clarified suddenly the ideas, like lightning, after reading your foundation "language" to deny the transfer Vigo school some girls in the car handled in a divorce case. In that regard, the document does not resist the reality principle. In Galicia, the Galician girls not only learn, but that could enrich their Castilian with the "wonderful curves" Unamuno admired Valle-Inclán.
I will not speak now of Alfonso X the Wise, and Rosalia de Castro, or the Galician-Portuguese common core allows us to communicate with millions of people from Brazil East Timor. As well we are fortunate to share the Castilian, you see, sir, we are not going so badly prepared, provided, of course, that children do not amputate the tongue "useless." I think what is appropriate at this time go to the argument set out by Julio Camba protoecológico. As demonstrated in an ironic article, Galician is a language well suited to discuss not only between individuals but also with all kinds of animals. Note you if it's useful!
