Religious Symbol in the School as an Expression of Religious Freedom

Abstract

In the present article an attempt is made to analyze the place of religious symbols in the public space. The reason for undertaking the deliberations was the ruling by the European Court of Human Rights of November 2009. The article tries to confront the religious expression with the principle of the state’s world view neutrality. Also the questions of upbringing children in accordance with their parents’ and legal guardians’ convictions have been discussed.
