Italian school headmaster resigns over Christmas

63-year-old Marco Parma, headmaster of Garofani school in Rozano near Milan has been forced to resign after he cancelled all Christmas festivities so as not to hurt non-Christians and non-religious sensibilities. He proposed a January 21st non-religious 'winter concert' instead.

His indulgent political correctness however backfired after he came under fire from the prime minister and even Muslim parents. Italy's prime minister, Matteo Renzi (pictured above) who labelled the move a "big mistake" said:

"Debate and dialogue doesn't mean drowning identities in an indistinct & insipid form of political correctness. All Italians, both non-religious and Christians, will never give up Christmas.

A Muslim parent at the school, Mahmoud El Kheir - who is originally from Egypt - said: "Who are us Muslims to say what can happen at an Italian school? We are guests in this country. I hope the public understand that the decision was not made because of a request by Muslim parents".

His wife, Laila Magar, said their twins, Fatma and Yassin, took part in Christmas celebrations at the school and sang "traditional Catholic songs" with the other children.
"Why create a problem that doesn’t exist", she said.

It's the prime minister that is pictured above not the headmaster.

Do Christians go to Saudi Arabia or muslim countries to go and dictate to them on how to celebrate their religion? Why should he do that in Italy, a Christian country? What effontry? Nonsense!

Anonymous said...

They should have deported the teacher. How can u say they should not celebrate christmas in a christian country? He sure has some guts

That is the problem with the world today, this incessant desire to artificially please others and ending up distorting reality.
