“Minister Gelmini rejected the ruling and told reporters, “The presence of crucifixes in the classroom does not signify adhesion to Catholicism, but rather represent our tradition.”

Where do we get some of the lead that he has in his pencil for our leaders? They could use an infusion...

Dear European Court: Pound sand. Good for the Italians. They are standing up to this BS and preventing it from being imposed on Italy like it was imposed on us. If you don’t believe in karma, look what happened to Madalyn Murray.

Italy has many issues but I hope God recognizes and blesses Italy for when push came to shove, they would not deny Christ!

EU Court picking a fight with an Italian woman (minister) - big mistake.

God bless Italy and the Italians for standing up to these EU thugs.

Of course the cowardly tyrants known as the European Court of Human Rights issues this “ruling” after the Irish voted to enter the EU.

And in 10 years the EU will come back and make them take them down ...

and the sheeple will comply without a squeak. Or a squawk. Or a bleat.

Or whatever.

The idea is to remove all symbols, all traditions and make us all equal. Equal to the barbarians who wish to behead us, the ACLU types who hate our freedoms.
