Religious symbols in classrooms

I would argue it's more to do with pluralism and fairness.

Allow a cross in the classroom, allow a chakra too, or a star and crescent. Makes no difference.

If we want fairness, we must ensure a level playing field, as is logical, and which I think you allude to and agree with.
