Italy, backed by a dozen countries, began Wednesday its appeal against a European court ruling condemning the display of crucifixes in Italian schools in a case that could affect all of Europe.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in November the display of crucifixes in schools breached the rights of non-Catholic families, restricting "the right of parents to educate their children in conformity with their convictions."

A latest publication from the Australian Curriculum Studies Association is described as follows:
This new resource for primary and secondary teachers offers practical advice and strategies about meeting the needs of Muslim students, and incorporating Islam and Muslim related content into the curriculum.

The following paragraphs are a review of the publication.
Having already scanned through the text, we are totally shocked at the contents and false pro-Islamic claims that will be pushed into schools.
...The book is called ‘Learning from one another - bringing Muslim perspectives into schools’ and is by Eeqbal Hassim and Jennet Cole-Adams. In it our children are told not only how to be Muslims but are given activities like finding Mecca and given Islamic prayers. Why do our children need such information? Why does Islam need to be pushed into the classroom? Is Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Shinto, Taoism, Wiccan or crystal worship... to be pushed into the classroom? I thought our secular schools were NOT to promote religion.
