In this pre-Christmas period in some schools souls are warming up on the theme: “Nativity: yes or no?” with the excuse of respect for non-Christians, to “not offend” the new immigrants in Italy.
It should be noted that non-Christians have always been present in the schools but the problem only arose with the arrival of Muslims. Often those who pose the problem are not the Muslims themselves but precisely certain teachers, either to set trends or because they delude themselves into favouring integration by penalizing everything that is part of the Christian tradition. In the name of respect for differences and the protection of minorities, they renounce making the Nativity in the classroom on Christmas, they choose no poems or strictly non-religious songs for the Christmas play, and they ask to remove the crucifix from the walls of schools and hospitals.
