I want to give my personal opinion about this "problem". We put so much, it's so simple ... The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has upheld an appeal by an Italian citizen by establishing that the presence of crucifixes in classrooms is "a violation of the right of parents to educate their children according to their convictions" and a violation of "freedom religion of the pupils "(adapted from the Corriere della Sera, 3 November). The reactions of the Italians are the usual "is part of our identity," is a ruling ideology " etc. ...
But let's take a moment to think. But are we really believe that their whole of Italy is acknowledged in certain values? Yet there are often people who claim to be agnostic or even atheist, or even other religions! And they are our countrymen, including myself. There are basically many minorities, often quite substantial. But then, which is also Italian citizens like any other, because they must be forced to follow an instruction to die a Christian, every day sipping a symbol of an ideology but also an organization where you do not recognize? It does not seem democratic to them ... If there is something that we learn is to respect the ideas of others even when we do not like, but above all respect for minorities. So are two solutions: either we display in each classroom everything but all religious symbols, but does not seem the case ... or they take away everything but everything, including the crucifix. I think the most obvious way. This is my idea, but also that of many other Italians, more than you want to believe. And it is a matter of respect and democracy. (Italy also has many other problems ... but you have to watch which seem to be the worst ...)

PPS. I was not stoned, the tag "policy" below I put it in Italy because religion is an integral part of the common and often affects their performance in forcing choices shortsighted and outdated ...
