Fully respect religious people to live however they want to live, but I don’t agree with the idea of forcing your religious norms on those outside of your religion.
It's frustrating in large part because reactionaries are routinely able to get people fired for similar banal assertions and transgressions.
So the Leftist Take In Theory (people need to have academic discussions with a degree of distance and objectivity rather than getting hung up on cultural taboo) is good. But the Reactionary Policy in Practice (conservatives can have a melt down over someone disrespecting the flag, then harass any Muslim who pips up about a respect for Islam) is awful.
A lot of it just boils down to recognizing privilege. In a majority White Christian school, this sort of display can easily be construed as punching down on a vulnerable group.
