And what about exporting anyone who would have a problem with a crucifix in a classroom? It would seem to me that they have no business being in a nation like Italy in the first place.

"Freedom of religion, freedom from discrimination, freedom of choice are fundamental principles and in this case they weren't respected," Massimo Albertin told AP from the northern Italian town of Abano Terme.
