Human rights ruling against classroom crucifixes angers Italy | World news | The Guardian
European court bans crucifixes in Italian schools - Society : news, world | euronews
I'm not a christian/catholic or cross worshiper by any means. In fact I have a distaste, if not disdain, for all organized religions. However this is ludicris to me. I think this is just absurd craziness but then again I'm an American and our main founding principle was the freedom of religious expression.
Basically they say displaying the cross, in public, anywhere in europe is a violation of Human Rights.
I can see the Vatican taking down the crosses now in Rome's schools![lol :lol: :lol:](/styles/smilies/lol.gif)

Italian schools have been told to remove crucifixes from their classroom walls. The instruction comes from the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
A case was brought by Italian national, Soile Lautsi, who complained that there were crucifixes in every classroom at her childrens school in northern Italy. Lautsi said their presence was against her right to give her children a secular education.
