At another point in time, what if the 'majority' (of parents) changes to paganism? Will use of those symbols in school classrooms then be allowed? Highly doubtful. The ruling is dangerous.

For the United States, this ruling should be ignored. But that is highly doubtful as well.

"All the parents of all the 30 puupils in an Italian classroom enjoy equally the fundamental Convention right to have their children receive teaching in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions, at least analogous to that of the Lautsi children," he wrote. "The parents of one pupil want that to be 'non-crucifix' schooling, and the parents of the other 29, exercising their equally fundamental freedom of decision, want that schooling to be 'crucifix' schooling.

"No one has so far suggested any reason why the will of the parents of one pupil should prevail, and that of the parents of the other 29 pupils should founder. The parents of the 29 have the fundamental right, equivalent in force and commensurate in intensity, to have their children receive teaching in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions."
