Godless classrooms in an amoral Europe?

SHORTLY before my retirement from teaching and close to the time of the first Lisbon referendum, I wondered to a colleague how much longer the crucifix would be allowed to hang on the classroom wall.

Nihilism is a doctrine that states there is nothing in the constituted order of things that is worthy of approval or preservation.
