The number of people who are against the presence of icons in classrooms is increasing. This paradigm could also be seen in other European countries. This chapter will present the situation of religious icons in public schools in Romania, past and present tendencies, as well as what the future holds for religious symbols as the legislative cover seems to diminish. The situation in Romania will be analyzed as compared to the status of religious icons in other European countries, the purpose being to understand the position of other Christian states on this issue as well.
