A Catholic school in Sardinia has decided to ask African refugee children to use separate bathrooms after parents claimed the refugees posed a “health risk” to their kids, with some even transferring their children to other schools, a local newspaper reports.
According to Italy’s La Stampa, the story involves two refugees from Egypt and Ethiopia, aged nine and 11, living in Cagliari, Sardinia and enrolled at a private Catholic school there. They were within an inch of death as they made the perilous boat journey from Libya, before they were rescued by the Italian military earlier in 2016, along with 380 other people on that boat.
Their parents are believed to have drowned, and the two were entrusted to two Italian lawyers by the Juvenile Court in Cagliari.
Parents of other children at the primary school believed that the two Africans would infect their children and staged a protest. Several parents even insisted on moving their children to a different school. Full story...
