- Enrico Di Nicola ha commentato l'accaduto allo stesso quotidiano affermando che "la scritta apparsa sotto casa del professor Biagi si commenta da sè. E' stupida, oltre che vergognosa".
- Secondo il sindaco di Bologna, Sergio Cofferati, la scritta "segnala l'esistenza di un problema non risolto quale è quello della presenza in città di persone attratte dalla follia del terrorismo". Il ministro del Lavoro, Cesare Damiano, parla di "un gesto ignobile da condannare con grande fermezza". Per il leader dell'Udc, Pier Ferdinando Casini, "Ci sono tanti motivi per chiedere scusa ai familiari di Marco Biagi, ma da oggi ce n'è uno in più". Duro anche il commento di Piero Fassino: "Un atto vergognoso - ha detto il segretario dei Democratici di sinistra - che rivela lo squallore umano e politico di chi ha vergato quella scritta".

a child who comes in with a good vocabulary listens to a story, learns more words, feels great about himself and has an even better vocabulary at the end of the day. Another child arrives with a poor vocabulary, listens to the story, has a hard time following, picks up fewer words, retreats into insecurity and leaves the classroom even further behind.

What’s more, given the socioeconomics of redshirting — and the luxury involved in delaying for a year the free day care that is public school — the oldest child in any given class is more likely to be well off and the youngest child is more likely to be poor.
