Pastor Obasola SHODERU

Isn't this plain enough? What's the cogency of forcing the displaying of crucifixes amongst diverse religious groups, when the crucifixes' owners do not unilaterally own the institution? One can call the tune only where one pays the piper!

    No religious material should be in a Public school.

    I can only imagine WHO was offended. My guess it was some Christian, Western Civilization hating person who was forced to immigrate to Italy.

      Good for Europe.

      Maybe they'll adopt a full separation of Church and State soon enough that will encourage liberty for everyone from Christians to Atheists.
