Ξεστραβώνονται...Σταυροί τέλος στις σχολικές τάξεις! Ξεσταυρώνονται...!!!

Σταυροί τέλος στις σχολικές τάξεις!
Η απόφαση στηρίχθηκε (δήθεν) στο σκεπτικό ότι η παρουσία θρησκευτικών συμβόλων στις αίθουσες παραβιάζει κατάφωρα την αρχή της ανεξιθρησκίας. Αλλά δεν είναι „o από μηχανής θεός της Ελλάδος“ που το αποφάσισε αλλά τo Ευρωπαϊκό Δικαστήριο Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων καταδίκασε την ύπαρξη του σταυρού μέσα στις σχολικές αίθουσες.
