Mother Forces Primary School to Remove Crucifixes
At a primary school in Vienna crucifixes had to be taken off the walls because a mother felt that they were a “religious paternalism”. This was possible when it turned out that less than half of the pupils are registered as Christians. For the first time since National Socialism crucifixes were banned from class rooms.
Vienna law for compulsory education says that when the majority of the students belong to the Christian communion, a crucifix may be installed in the class room.
