Christmas concert row forces Italian school head to quit



MILAN: -- An Italian primary school headmaster has been forced to stand down after organising a Winter concert in January instead of a traditional Christmas concert – all in the name of multiculturalism.

The resignation of Marco Parma, 63, follows outrage over his decision at the school near Milan.

Some parents have expressed indignation at the move and even Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has got involved in the row.

Good on the parents by not kowtowing to this political shit of "lets not offend the others". crap.

Absolutely agree. Far too much PC crap around, in almost every country.

Trouble is, it's getting worse, not better, as time goes by.

Good for those parents, for standing up to it!

The others have no shame to offend us all the time.....

It's a measure of how low Europe has sunk into the PC mire, that attempts to honour our own historical culture have become controversial, and hence, newsworthy.

Once in a while, the Italians get it right. In the UK, on the other hand, the headmaster would probably have stood his rocky ground, regardless.
