A 30% limit on foreign
students in every class, a crucifix in every school and the
teaching of the Catholic religion "as founding principle of the
activity" are part of new child education rules of the Trieste
municipality.
The rules were approved by the town council on the proposal
of education councillor Angela Brandi but have sparked
controversy.
The head of the Democratic Party (PD) of the fifth district,
Maria Luisa Paglia, said the move was "propaganda that hurts
children and to which there is no logic or understandable
criteria except that of being discriminatory and damaging the
weakest part of the population".
Paglia has submitted a complaint to the regional ombudsman
for children's rights, Walter Citti.
