The children do not sing “silent night” came after the controversy to the wise – Corriere della Sera

they put the silencer: the pupils of the school sang “silent night” to “not to offend other faiths” and the outbreak of the controversy. Happened to the “Wise of Winter” in Flero, in the province of Brescia: the children have sung the melody, but without the text. “We see this as a serious fact: even if the State and the school, of the state lay in their autonomy, we would like that in the schools in the territory did the “Christmas Concerts” and not “a n d winter” where the boys feel free to sing “Astro del Ciel” without thinking can offend or exclude the pupils who belong to other cultures or other religions or declare themselves to be atheists”, said the councillor for culture of the municipality of Elena Franceschini.

Ready for a question in the Lombardy Region

The case will be on the agenda of the next council in the Region: “What happened to Flero is simply shameful,” said Riccardo De Corato , group leader of Brothers of Italy-An al Pirellone. “For the children of the school of brescia and prevented him from singing for a reason, typically religious, and christmas is only because some teachers do not like the singing of some of the reasons that are traditional on Christmas day and that could give annoyance to the children of the islamic faith? It is a shame. The Councillor for Culture, said the centre has warned against what happened, and he said that you can exchange the “Christmas Concerts” with the “Wise men of Winter” , as they called themselves “Star in Heaven”. No one would have discriminated against no one with the Christmas carols to which they would have been able to participate all the children of the various religions. But unfortunately in some s chools there is' people who are the most muslim of the same muslims. With the question that I will present tomorrow in the Region will ask the councillor of Education Valentina Aprea to intervene in order to ascertain how they have gone to the facts and take the appropriate measures where there have been irregularities on the part of the authorities’ schools of various kinds.
