Take away the name of Jesus? All-Italian stupidity: "let's take back our country"

(by Emanuela Ricci) “Come on, let's toast! Let's celebrate! This is the day of Jesus ”, repeats the verse of the song“ Merry Christmas in joy ”which triggered a new“ case ”in Veneto. The teachers they asked the pupils to omit the name of Jesus laid down by the Christmas song not to offend the sensitivity of non-Catholic neighbors, but one elementary girl he rebelled, he picked them up signatures of the companions and obtained at the end that in the Christmas recital the song was sung in the original version. The fact happened in one elementary School of Riviera del Brenta, on the borders between the provinces of Venice and Padua. The child has 10 years and attends the fifth grade.

The wisdom of a little girl prevailed over the "lightness" of teachers. The same was done by the mayor Virginia Raggi when he covered the statues at the Campidoglio in respect of the Iranian leader on an official visit to Rome.

It is necessary to change attitudes, what Italians have towards their guests: to demonstrate Italian hospitality at all costs, also sacrificing historical and artistic symbols that are part of our culture that is millenary. Abroad we Italians, then, we accommodate the customs and customs of others to not offend those who host us. Ultimately it is not the fault of others but it is the fault of our way of being hospitable and accommodating. We must begin to love our country, our flag and our Italian spirit more. We do not realize that we are envied around the world for what we have and for what we have been, why hide it? Let's take back our country!

Matteo Salvini's comment on the matter

"But how can you even think that the word "Jesus" in a Christmas song at school can offend anyone? The child is exceptional, the teachers are unqualified. Hands off our traditions! Happy Saturday friends », writes the Interior Minister in a tweet. The girl she refers to is the 10-year-old pupil who took pen and paper and started a petition among her classmates against the teachers' decision: the request to leave the full text was signed by almost all the classmates, forcing the teachers to reverse".
