Rome, Italy, Nov 4, 2009 / 10:21 am (CNA).- Italys Minister of Education, Mariastella Gelmini, has rejected the ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in favor of removing crucifixes from public schools. She stated, Nobody, much less a European court that is steeped in ideology, will be allowed to strip our identity away.
The court ruled the presence of crucifixes in classrooms could be a bother to students who practice other faiths or who are atheists and that the State should abstain from imposing beliefs in public places. Religious neutrality should be observed in the context of public education, the court ruled.
Symbol of charity? I thought it was a symbol of death...

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
