It seems that Rada Visnjic won’t be appointed the acting headteacher of the Bar’s Yugoslavia primary school.
Visnjic has become a star of the Montenegrin conservarive revolution (password: “religious processions”) after she got fired last year for inviting the children to prayer.
“Visnjic continuously abused children, first by asking them to draw tricolors and posting pictures of children with tricolors on social media, and then by using direct communication with children to promote and impose her religious beliefs, which is prohibited by law,” the CdM portal recalls.
All revolutions, even the right-wing ones, need martyrs. As a prominent “martyr” of religious processions, Rada Visnjic was on the list of the chosen ones, those whom Minister Bratic entrusted to “modernize” and “Europeanize” Montenegrin education according to the standards of Amfilohije’s religious processions.
All revolutions, even the right-wing ones, devour their children. The religious processions’ counter-revolution in the end devoured Rada.
How, why? Let me quote a friend who explained it succinctly: “You got recommended for a job thanks to Ratko Mladic, and you lose your job because of a couple of nudes”…
Following the strong reaction of the public because of the appointment of Rada Visnjic, Vesna Bratic stated that “in case of Rada Visnjic certain material appeared, of a personal and obscene nature, that the Ministry hasn’t seen so far”…
It’s not the first time that Vesna Bratic appoints someone in the morning, and already in the afternoon the public reacts strongly due to her scandalous human resource policy, and then she has to remove that person from the position. The “materials” that Bratic refers to were circulating on social media last year, so not only the Ministry could see them before, but also had to have an insight into them.
Even people from Athos wouldn’t consider Visnjic pics that Bratic refers too erotic or too obscene. However, honestly, there are different standards for “obscene things” in Orthodoxy… at the court of Bishop Kacavenda, for example, de Sad’s prose does not add to the status of the obscene either.
Obscene – of all other words, Bratic used that one. It means – inappropriate, disgusting, shameless, shameful…
Rada Visnjic’s private photos, no matter how you turn it, in tastelessness and shamelessness cannot compete with the warm wishes of Minister Bratic for “grandmother” Latinka Perovic to “go to God for the truth” as soon as possible.
Exactly what is truly shameless, disgusting and shameful – that is what recommended Rada Visnjic for the position: abuse of children for the purposes of religious processions. Shameless and shameful is her “song” about the perpetrator of the genocide in Srebrenica, ending with the message: “For General Mladic with love.”
That’s obscene. And it’s why, as I said – because of the obscene – Bratic appointed Visnjic as the headteacher. And then, fearing the reaction of the public, she decided to remove her from office and protect herself. With what explanation? Once again: because of “obscene photos”. In all that story about the photos, everything’s wrong: yes, it’s not convenient for children to find the teacher’s nudes on the Internet. But who made those pictures public? Visnjic? Or someone who deals with her that way? What is the position of the Ministry: that these pics are unacceptable from a pedagogical or religious point of view? While defending Mladic is acceptable from both?
That is how Rada Visnjic, in the end, became a victim of the patriarchy for which she fought heartily. And she fought for one of the blackest versions of patriarchy, clero-nationalism, although she may not have understood it or does not understand it today. She fought for it, among other things, by manipulating children and crying over child butchers.
To appoint someone because they defended Mladic, and then remove them due to nude pics: what can be more obscene than that?
