You are trying to create a double standard that is not there with AC/DC. The opposite is true. If a Muslim or Buddhist or Hindu want to display something religious in a public school Christians flip out.
I don't see the point of treating any public school as an indoctrination center. If you want to live under a government that is run on religion where it's public schools mix the two, Saudi Arabia and Iran do that quite well. Schools are not Mosques, Synagogues, Churches or Buddhist or Hindu Temples. There are over 360,000 houses of worship in America of all sects and all religions outside public schools. There is no need to treat a public school as a holy place.
But, if Christians insist, then they cannot bitch, nor have the right to bitch if others do the same. I take the position that it is better for all involved to leave religion at the public school door, and have children and family do that on their own time.
It happens all across the board. I remember when the atheists were mad because some kids were going to a local park to pray/worship during their lunch hour, and there were a bunch of protests by local seculrists upset that they were doing it during official school hours at a public location. Of course at the end of it, the city told them to MYOB. With the Muslims, it's common for them to defy school rules and even pray on their mats in the halls. Often people are afraid of retaliation, and they let it slide. Christians do it too. Lots of banter about what is and what isn't appropriate. Unfortunately kids get caught in the middle of all the quarreling.
Um no, it does not happen "across the board".
Even outside America, and it's laws, our species majorities do not like it when minorities question.
Yes kids do get caught up into the middle of of it, which is why it is best left at the door. It is the duty of teachers to teach, not to indoctrinate.
