“The Muslims even want them removed from private schools”?
The Muslims even want them removed from earth.
Seems more apprapo.

That the subject even came up is outrageous.

Shame on Italy.

"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.

Hmmm, I notice the freedom from being offended isn't on the list. Ms. Albertin, perhaps you could exercise a freedom that IS on the list, your freedom of choice, and LEAVE ITALY if the country's customs are so offensive to you.
