If I recall you can't even wear a cross necklace to school or something unobtrusive like that? NO RELIGION RELATED THINGS AT ALL.

Yuuuup. The crazy really hit the fan back in the 90s. The sad part? The government thought (and still thinks) that they're doing a favor to everyone with this "no religion" BS. I'm an atheist, but I hate this kind of attitude. Having a religion isn't a crime.
(And then for example Finland followed this example to an extent: students are allowed to wear what they want, but singing Christmas songs in schools during Christmas isn't allowed anymore, because not everyone is a Christian. Monkey see, monkey do.)

I can understand really, hugely blatant religious messages being prohibited (like t-shirts with certain text), but small things like hijab or a crucifix necklace? It's just really strange to me.

That might be the case in some schools, for example in Helsinki where there are more immigrants, but it's definitely not a norm. There is no law to ban Christmas carols or other Christian tradition from schools.

Thanks for the info!

Oh please. I'm Finnish and just a few years back I got into trouble at school for not wanting to attend christmas church. I also live in Helsinki and not some backwards town.

There's a shift toward not forcing people who are not christian to participate in christmas related thing but that's just a good thing IMO. Christmas songs aren't going to be banned anytime soon.

I used to go to school in Helsinki as well, and for a while our school didn't have mandatory Christmas church back when people were still undecided about the whole thing; we did have the traditional assembly in the school hall, though, and almost all Christmas songs were left out (temporarily). This was some years ago, and I know it was only temporary, so I understand things have changed a bit.

Thanks for the up-to-date info.
