Polish Teacher Disposes Cross - Protesters Rally Outside School
When the pupils refused, the teacher removed the cross herself and threw it into a trash bin.
Yesterday, a protest in defense of the cross took place outside the primary school, according to Wiadomosci.Onet.pl. It drew local residents, members of Gazeta Polska Clubs, opposition politicians, and the parents of one of the pupils. Among those present were Members of Parliament Michał Kowalski and Dorota Arciszewska-Mielewczyk from the Law and Justice party (PiS).
Following the incident, the Mayor of Szemud Municipality had filed a notification with the District Prosecutor’s Office in Wejherowo concerning the alleged disposal of the cross.
Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda of Gdańsk said he expects thorough and reliable explanations from the authorities responsible for the school.
Pending clarification of the matter, the school principal suspended the teacher from her duties.
The Minister of Education, Barbara Nowacka, confirmed that disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against the teacher.
