The Center for early Childhood Education and Primary Hispanic heritage, Elche (Alicante) has asked the families of children 3 years of age to carry a ornament lay to the class on the occasion of Christmas, a religious festival. "Approaching Christmas, and we need each child to bring an ornament to the classroom, please that is not large (Christmas tree) or religious reasons (bethlehem)", they say.

The circular, in which they call the parents to participate the next 3 December in the decoration of the classroom, has led to controversy in the networks and some internet users have criticised the censorship to the Crib and have wondered what they are going to take the children if they can’t bring trees or figures such as the Kings of the East, the Virgin Mary, the child Jesus and St. Joseph.

The measure is framed within the idea of the left and of the presented by a radical secularism -endorsed by educational associations lay – take God out of the classroom. Remove the religious symbols in the public places, to abolish the Religion class, delete, and get that the public school is entirely secular is the project that have publicly supported parties as we Can. The training that leads Pablo Churches supported the campaign "Not I notes to the class of Religion" that promotes the organization of Europe Secular. If you carry out this decision, more than 3,000 teachers -all who teach this subject in public schools – would swell the ranks of the unemployed. In addition, it should be noted the loss of moral and cultural that this measure would be for the new generations.

last year, the so-called "councils for change" wanted to suppress the intrinsic religious nature of Christmas. The mayor of Valencia, Joan Ribó, promoted the ride lay with the queens magas republican, Manuela Carmena stopped sponsoring the nativity scenes -even in the face of public pressure it was decided to retain the Consistory with reduced dimensions – changed the traditional Birth of the Puerta de Alcalá by decorations "lay people", and eliminated the traditional costumes of the Magi, and Ada Colau called to celebrate the winter solstice in Barcelona.
