What I have never understood about the removal of religious art from any public, or political forum is that the majority of people want them there, while the minority do not.
People get upset when the powers that be bow to the whims of those who don't want something.
I think if the majority of a population wants something then it should be allowed - no questions; unless it causes physical harm upon another individual. People's mental hang-ups is their own problem.

Half the Commandments are about worshiping god, not about interaction between man and man. They are JUST a religious symbol. If he wants a good symbol for the students to know and practice, how about the Bill of Rights? This kid is an idiot.
This is absolutely untrue.
1. You shall have no other gods before me (GOD)
2. You shall not make idols (GOD)
3. You shal not take the name of the LORD your God in Vain (GOD)
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (GOD)
5. Honor Your father and mother (Others)
6. You shall not murder (Others)
7. You shall not commit adultery (Others)
8. You shall not steal (Others)
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor (Others)
10. You shall not covet (Others)
Grand Total : God - 4, and man and man - 6
Why is this kid an idiot for standing up for what he believes in?
Some people lay down in front of traffic and are held as heroes, while others set their selves on fire, and are recorded as legendary peace demonstrators.
I don't understand why when an issue is considered important to someone, others trash them, and call them stupid.
We don't know the full story or history of this situation - and all opinions are completely conjecture at this point.

All he is going to accomplish is that he will ruin his chances for future education and employment with a good job.
I disagree. I would hire him.

What about the other half? Murder and stealing aren't "JUST" religious crimes.
High school is the most important thing in his life. Standing on his right to protest there isn't "reckless".
The lesson of the states supreme authority will be imparted though, like you say. Thats what "public'" school is really teaching these days.
