Kruzifix-Beschluss - Wikipedia		Crucifix ruling
Kruzifix-Beschluss (umgangssprachlich auch Kruzifix-Urteil) wird die Entscheidung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts genannt, mit der Teile der Bayerischen Volksschulordnung von 1983 für verfassungswidrig und nichtig erklärt wurden, nach denen in jedem Klassenzimmer der Volksschulen in Bayern ein Kruzifix oder zumindest ein Kreuz anzubringen war.^[1] Der Kruzifix-Beschluss ist eine bedeutsame Entscheidung zum Verhältnis von Religion und Staat in Deutschland.		The crucifix ruling (originally also called the crucifix verdict) decision of the German Federal Constitutional Court overturning parts of the Bavarian School Statute of 1983 that required a crucifix or at least a cross to be mounted in all classrooms in Bavaria. The crucifix decision is a major decision on the relationship between church and state in Germany.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

Re: Actually... (none / 1)

However, it is a ruling not executed unless a parent requests it; for example teachers can't request it. On the other hand, I guess I should read the details of the ruling on the Italian case to see if that trick would be possible there, or not (in which case there WILL be a Bavarian consequence).
