I'm disappointed.

CNN's Quickvotes aren't scientific, so there's no telling how accurate this is, but I'm still

Has one more "yes' vote now.

[FBM]

Cool. I forgot to suggest that you guys cast a vote...

[Thinking Aloud]

Curiously, even after I voted, it said the same totals, including number of votes.

This wouldn't have anything to do with this story, would it?

Italy seeks to end classroom crucifix ban

The Italian government is appealing to the European court of human rights to overturn a ban on classroom crucifixes.

This case against crucifixes was brought by a woman who argued that her children had a right to a secular education under Italy's constitution.

Last year the court agreed with the mother, saying parents should be able to bring up children as they saw fit.

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

You take one kid each year, nail him/her to a cross and let them die. "This is what you could be worshiping."

I'm not really a fan of banning things (unless it's an immediate heath or safety risk.) Banning kids from wearing a crusifax is only gonna cause them to rebel and turn more toward religion.
I'd prefer to teach them the bullshit then let themselves make up their own minds.

Saw this too late. Now it's been replaced.

No, because because it would only give many theistic legislators the exuse they were looking for to ban these symbols as well.
