Mrs Joanna Senyszyn, but had not enjoyed success - shortly thereafter (3 December), the Polish Sejm overwhelming majority (90%) adopted a resolution defending the cross. Members indicated that the cross is not only a symbol of God's love, but also in the public sphere, like a willingness to sacrifice for others, expresses the values \u200b\u200bthat build respect for the dignity of every human being and his rights. " Nonetheless, if the battle lasted about a particular school crosses - on our own, Wroclaw ground.
Several (according to different sources: three or four) students XIV LO demanded removal of crosses from the halls of that venerable high school. The case was immediately nagłośniła "Gazeta Wyborcza", exerting pressure on the director to that request subsided. At the same time the editors 'GW' tried to vote four students (0.5% of the students Czternastki) presented as the voice of the public. Jacek Harłukowicz: "Young people do not want to cross"; Klaus Bachmann: "A dispute over the crosses represent a conflict of generations."
