Italy school crucifixes 'barred'
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the use of crucifixes in classrooms in Italy.  
It said the practice violated the right of parents to educate their
children as they saw fit, and ran counter to the child's right to
freedom of religion.
The case was brought by an Italian mother, Soile Lautsi, who wants to give her children a secular education.
But the ruling has sparked anger in the largely Catholic country, with one politician calling the move "shameful".
The Strasbourg court found that: "The compulsory display of a symbol of
a given confession in premises used by the public authorities...
restricted the right of parents to educate their children in conformity
with their convictions."
It also restricted the "right of children to believe or
not to believe", the seven judges ruling on the case said in a
statement quoted by AFP news agency.
Mrs Lautsi complained to the European court that her
children had to attend a public school in northern Italy that had
crucifixes in every room.
She was awarded 5,000 euros ($7,400, £4,500) in damages.
But many politicians in Italy have reacted angrily.
The country's education minister has attacked the decision, insisting that the crucifix was a "symbol of our tradition".
Others called the decision "shameful", accusing the court of forgetting
the country's Christian heritage, our correspondent Duncan Kennedy says
from Rome.
The Vatican says it will study the ruling before issuing a comment.
