A crucifix has to be removed after 2 people who went to a public school in Bavaria compalined about their " freedom of religion" .
The court ruling is interesting :
Everybody has the right of " negative freedom of religion" - meaning that no one has to be exposed to religiious symbols in a püblic building.
Bavaria is the last of the 16 Federal States in Germany where is was legal to show religious symbols - like a crucifix , religious clothing - . All other States had this outlawed since a decade or so ago.
I like the term " Negative freedom of religion " !
