A new case of ideological persecution and indoctrination is shaking the public education system in Argentina. Santiago, a student at Colegio Primera Junta, located in the Caballito neighborhood of Buenos Aires, has been unable to attend classes for more than a week after being threatened for expressing his support for the judicial conviction of the corrupt former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
According to both him and his mother, Jaquelin, as reported on Esteban Trebucq's program on La Nación+, the situation began after an assembly organized within the school regarding the conviction in the Vialidad case.
In that setting, Santiago stated that he agreed with the court ruling, which triggered a wave of harassment by other students, who threatened him directly. Since then, his presence at the institution has become unsustainable.
Additionally, according to Santiago's report, some teachers use the classroom to indoctrinate and systematically attack Javier Milei's government, while promoting a biased view in favor of Kirchnerism.

On the program, Jaquelin also revealed that she spoke with the principal to request a solution, but the school's authorities did nothing.
The dissemination of the case caused immediate reactions on social media. One of the first to speak out was the Undersecretary of University Policies of the Nation, Alejandro Álvarez, who posted a strong message on his Twitter account.
"We're not going to allow this to happen. We're going to defend anyone who is persecuted or silenced by the enemies of freedom! Education must be a place of protection and coexistence, not a place taken over by authoritarian minorities!" the official stated.
Santiago's case once again demonstrates the level of left-wing ideological indoctrination by some teachers in the classroom, along with the hatred and zero tolerance of Kirchnerists toward differing opinions.
Meanwhile, Santiago remains at home, waiting for a solution that will guarantee he can return to his studies without fear and without the threats from other violent Kirchnerist students.
