suffer since they first came to the classrooms. It’ s the result of dictatorial irrationality turned into doctrine, which seeks to return people to their hominid origin not only through the standardized behavior, but also of thought, by doing everything as robots of a unique series. From the smallest gestures to the smile; from the voice tones with uniform and feigned tenderness for reciting patriotic verses or singing in choir of androids, and with vociferous hardness for repeating slogans, in which the hate to the enemy and the cruel idea of killing or dying prevail. Certainly, the rights of the children are protected in Cuba by the Constitution and a large package of codes, laws and decrees. So, as long as the political indoctrination is not called institutional abuse against childhood— as it is, namely a crime against humanity— the official institutions and reports related to the regime can ensure( without altering the truths of the law) that childhood care in Cuba is a paradigm for the other third world countries. An unspoken maxim, essentially like the Hitlerian one: " You cannot think like me, but your children belong to me," propitiated that Cuban children are treated with legal deference to the delight of certain romantic international observers. In fact, these children are one of the many privative possessions of the State, defenseless victims of aberrations committed by a group of dogmatic and ambitious people sickly obsessed with power, who act with impunity on the individual psyche since the earliest years and cause so devastating effects that it’ s irrelevant for the Cuban schools this Galileo ' s lesson: the best way to educate a human being consists in teaching him or her how to discover what he or she has inside. Over the years, we have been perplexed witnesses of daunting directors of international human rights institutions visiting Havana and giving awards and moral and material support to the regime ' s education system. This powerful support constitutes one of the main reasons why brainwashing and cultural, spiritual and moral deformation became entrenched in the bases of the Cuban education system, while its critics were left potentially defenseless. In the same way that the mythical seven-headed hydra was unbeatable, because every time someone cut a head, two new ones grew, the most wellfounded objections to the school work in Cuba, raised by people of the most diverse origins, are usually neutralized by frequent awards and public recognitions by such prestigious world organizations as UNICEF.
5-Abuse against learners. Malice aforethought against educators A ragged heart is the result for whoever has objective eyes while making observations at some of those patriotic acts performed every morning by the Cuban children before entering the classroom. It is worrisome to think that— from there and in not so many years— they will become the citizens in charge of exercising power( all the powers). It’ s well-known that the old teachers— who in principle constituted the pillars of the education system in the Cuban revolution— have been dropping out in a systematic and massive way. With rigged convenience, the official bodies have been handling the issue with the low wages as main cause for discontinuing a career that was vocation and inspiration in life. It is not true or at most it is only a small grain of the truth. Proving it would have been so easy that we have no option than to distrust those who, having all the means to do it, have never done so, and if they did, it never became public knowledge. The old teachers, also romantic revolutionaries for the most part, were
