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.

What about the altars depicting child and human sacrifices? The one showing the crazy old coot Abraham getting ready to burn Isaac on a pile of wood should be very popular. And they need the figurines showing the priests throwing the virgins into the volcano. The ones showing the Aztec priests ripping hearts out will be a big hit with the illegal alien students from Mexico.
