I'll be honest, unless they were willing to give equal space to other organized, recognized religions - Judaism, Hindu, Muslim, so on and so forth, then I would have an issue with my child going there and it being up.

She has been raised in a belief that while their is nothing wrong with her religion, she can be hurt and attacked because of it and encourage an environment where it can be pointed out that she's wrong because of that picture is not something I would want for her.

People tend to forget one thing about children. They are one of the cruelest predators in the world and they seem trained to attack a weakness. If you don't believe this, watch them for extended periods. They are often like vicious, half starved pack animals with a two legged deer when they find a weakness in another child. So I take issue with giving such a clear statement that this one thing - in this case Christianity - is okay. It wouldn't have to be Christianity though. I feel this way with many things schools do that seem more geared towards creating animosity rather than solving it.
