Technically, for me, the monument shouldn't ever have had Christian symbols on it at all, and I fully agree with Pyrrho that whether this teacher was Christian is irrelevant to whether they were a good teacher and it would have been more appropriate for the monument to reflect that this person was a teacher.
With that being said, I'm torn about modifying the monument.
On the one hand I would say leave it and let it stand as precedent for when the satanist teacher dies and their memorial includes a pentagram.
On the other hand, how likely is that to happen and does that implicitly privilege Christians in the meantime?

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
