En un institut d’Essen, Alemanya, diversos alumnes van proposar que el ball de graduació de l’Abitur 2025 —l’equivalent al batxillerat— se celebrés amb separació de sexes. La iniciativa, impulsada aparentment per motius religiosos, ha generat un intens debat dins del centre i més enllà.

Tot i que finalment la proposta va ser retirada, el fet que es plantegés ha alarmat una part del professorat, que ho interpreta com un símptoma de desintegració social. «Estic estupefacte davant d’aquest exemple colossal de desintegració», va declarar un docent d’un altre institut.

Una proposta documentada

L’intent de dividir la festa en funció del gènere no va ser una ocurrència improvisada. Els alumnes promotors es van informar prèviament dels aspectes legals, invocant que l’Abi-Ball és una festa privada, i per tant fora de l’abast normatiu del centre. Tot i això, el professorat del curs va rebutjar unànimement participar-hi si es feia així. Aquesta posició va afeblir la proposta i, segons el director, només uns pocs alumnes la defensaven realment.

Conflictes constants relacionats amb normes religioses

Aquest cas no és aïllat. Diversos centres d’Essen informen de conflictes constants relacionats amb normes religioses estrictes. Hi ha alumnes que boicotegen classes de natació o sortides escolars, i professors que han viscut situacions incòmodes, com ara estudiants que es neguen a donar-los la mà durant la cerimònia de graduació.

Una altra situació que preocupa és la pressió entre alumnes. Segons testimonis docents, algunes noies porten el vel només per por a les represàlies d’altres estudiants musulmans. “Hi ha noies que es cobreixen només per anar a classe, perquè tenen por d’un grup que les vigila i jutja”, explica un professor. El pare d’una alumna cristiana confirma que la seva filla ha estat criticada per portar tops sense mànigues o pintar-se les ungles: “Li diuen que això és haram”, afirma.

El problema amb l’islam no és local, és estructural

Els casos d’Essen no són excepcionals. A altres punts d’Alemanya, com Berlín, també s’han denunciat situacions preocupants. En una escola de la capital, alumnes musulmans s’han negat a jugar amb companys no musulmans. En un altre centre, un professor gai va rebre agressions verbals i amenaces com ara “marxa d’aquí, aquí mana l’islam”. Aquests fets confirmen una realitat incòmoda: el fonamentalisme religiós no només amenaça la convivència, sinó també els valors bàsics de l’escola democràtica.
