La continuazione di insegnamenti di questo genere rappresenta una violazione dei diritti umani e la evidenziazione della natura razzista e antisemita del nostro paese di cui il cristianesimo costituisce l’anima. Le persecuzioni antiebraiche sono la conseguenza dell’antisemitismo cristiano che ha il suo fondamento nei Vangeli e nelle opere che ad esso si ispirano, come la Divina Commedia. Deve essere messo in evidenza il legame culturale e tecnico-operativo con i vari tentativi di esclusione e di sterminio, fino alla Shoah. Certamente la Divina Commedia ha ispirato i Protocolli dei Savi Anziani di Sion, le leggi razziali e la soluzione finale.
The continuation of this sort of teaching represents a violation of human rights and the highlighting of the racist and antisemitic nature of our nation, of which Christianity comprises the soul. The anti-Jewish persecutions are the consequence of Christian anti-Semitism which has its foundations in the Gospels and in the works which are inspired by them, like La Divina Commedia. The cultural and technical-operational link with various attempts at exclusion and extermination, concluding with the Shoah, should be put into evidence. Certainly, La Divina Commedia has inspired the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the racial laws and the Final Solution.
These shitbags are anti-Christian hate-mongers and I for one would like to see them prosecuted under EU hate speech laws. They are attacking, in blanket terms, Christianity and Christian civilization. Oddly enough, they are defending Islam despite a wealth of anti-Semitic writings in the Islamic world.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

It does kind of feel like we should know more about how it's taught in Italian schools.

Taking the Divine Comedy off the curriculum would be like taking Shakespeare out in the UK.

You are making an assumption that Dante named it after Jewish quarters.
