Do you think that instead of displaying just a cross etc. in classrooms, there should be a digital picture frame in every class that displays religious symbols from every religion in a repeating slideshow ?

A slideshow with religious symbols from EVERY religion? That's a bit ridiculous...

Unless it's a religious school or a class on religion, there shouldn't be any religious symbols on the walls of a classroom*.

There should not be digital slideshows contributing nothing of value and using up energy in clasrooms.

Fun fact! Schools spend five times as much money on energy as they do on books.

Well a sizable part of that expenditure is unavoidable. And another part is unavoidable unless you rebuild schools from scratch first.

No, because there are religious traditions in which the use of imagery is wrong.  So what do you show for them?  A blank screen?

Too distracting for starters, and still violative of the 1st amendment - favoring religion over non-religion.

That's very unfortunate. Do they evangelize as well?

No, this is a dumb and wasteful idea. Predictable that it should come from a joke party like the Pirates.
