higly unfortunate. A legacy of the enlightenment construction that saw eqaulity as the opporunity to conform to the social standard, and not pluralistic freedom to have idenity outside the social mainstream. It reminds me greatly of the Jewish "Emancipation" that was the double edged blade-the possibility for citizenship, but at the cost of total assimilation, made complusory by the threat of deportation. If i were there...i'd start protesting like mad. If i was not free to wear the cross, i know how i would feel...and i won't stand by while someone inflicts similar injury on a minority population out of fear.
