Once upon a time, there were two girls aged 7 and 9 living in Switzerland and attending public school.
Their parents, thinking that putting them in a pool with boys was an attack on the honor of the cats, barred them from swimming lessons.
Filed by the authorities, they went to court, claiming that their freedom of conscience and religion and their right to educate their daughters according to their convictions were being challenged.
The litigation reached the European Court of Human Rights, which was decided recently.
