It hasn't.
but I 'll tell you something. I encountered the ultimate degree of fascism as a school kid from the Physics teacher who was cursing us all everyday with the words "incompetents-Useless-Crippled" , who was always half drank and used to beat us too. Another fascist was the young whore teaching us chemistry-she would punish everyone who she just wouldn't fancy, another fascist was the sports teacher who was trying to make super athletes out of us. One of my best friends was a super athlete and this teacher was giving him "vitamins" everyday. At the age of 40, my super athlete school friend died from heart attack.
as for the school master, damn him he was so black i though he was from Africa, yet such a fascist, he was at the school door every morning checking on us and calling us at his office for punishment, i thought he was the devil himself.
Not even one of the Religious Knowledge teachers was a bad person. In fact they were giving us all straight A grades. In fact i still remember one that I liked so much, he name was Panayi, he had some relation with Makarios, he was a superb teacher, in fact he was the only one i understood something about religion, he taught us the chirstian meaning of love and what loving your fellow man means.I learned something from him although i was always an atheist
