Max Felicitas protested in front of the Ponti Institute in Gallarate, wearing a vest with the word “freedom” printed four times as he was cheered and applauded by around 200 students.
“We were discriminated against, Max is an artist, he had come to talk to the kids about important themes,” said his lawyer, Lorenzo Puglisi.
Felicitas said officials at the Lombardy regional school office that cancelled the class should “quit their jobs”.
Local students were given “the terrible message that you can be discriminated against due to your job”, he noted.
“I would have spoken about sexually transmitted diseases, the importance of wearing a condom and bullying, the bullying I endured,” said Felicitas, explaining why he considered teaching in schools so important.
