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.,lol there should be more to this
