Suck it, EU....
WARSAW, Poland — Heavily Catholic Poland has joined the Vatican in criticizing a European court ruling against the display of crucifixes in Italian schools.
Polish President Lech Kaczynski said his country will never agree to remove crosses from its schools. The Nov. 3 ruling by the European Court of Human Rights does not require that Poland remove the crosses that hang in most public schools. It could, however, eventually force a review of the use of religious symbols in government-run school across Europe. The decision touched a nerve in Poland, where religious symbols were banned from public buildings under communist rule but embraced with the return to democracy 20 years ago as an expression of national sovereignty. During Independence Day celebrations on Wednesday in Warsaw, Kaczynski said that "nobody in Poland will accept the message that you can't hang crosses in schools."

I knew I was proud to be half Polack before I read this.
This article reaffirmed my pride.

I am not Catholic, but I hope the power of God supports you, sir.
I am ready for Him to come down here.
We are sinking, morally. If we can't do it ourselves, I hope He will pull us up.

Good for you, Poland. You and and Czech Republic are the last states in Europe to have any balls whatsoever.

Have crucifixes in schools that are genuinely indepednent of the State. But if they are taxpayer funded, then they should be open to all with offence to none. If the crucifix offends and it is publicly funded...then the State can decide. Think about freed OF and FROM religion.
