Giovanna Soatto

Giovanna Soatto is the principal of the Liceo Artistico Pietro Selvatico in Padova, Italy. She recently came under scrutiny for her decision to censor an article in the school's newspaper that used the schwa symbol 'ə' for gender-neutral language. Soatto argued that the use of traditional masculine and feminine forms of Italian is more appropriate and that the Italian language is inherently inclusive. Her stance has sparked significant debate among students and educators regarding language inclusivity and censorship in educational settings.
