Ban Mercedes from the campus.
The rule forbidding crucifixes needs to be challenged in court. I am sure a lawyer could build a case which attacks the premise of such a regulation. For example, what happens if gangs start wearing the auto emblems. Let’s see: Dodge, Ford, Chevy, Cadillac, Toyota—all would have to be removed from the automobiles before they could enter the school campuses. This is the logic upon which this regulation is based.
Once it is established that the crucifix regulation is flawed in logic, it is easy to make the next step: monetary damages.
What about firing the principal? Have any of these school officials ever read the US Constitution? What part of "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" do they not understand? Yes it says "Congress" but the 14th amendment prohibits states from infringing on the rights acknowleged in the Bill of Rights.

A court case, especially if successful, would turn the items into gang IDs if there are actually any gangs there.
The entire premise of compulsory attendance, and forced compulsory tax funding of government schools needs to be challenged. Why?
Answer: Because government schools and the First Amendment can not coexist. Government schools are utterly incompatible with freedom of conscience. It is axiomatic!
All schools if they are to maintain order must restrict every one our First Amendment human rights. Private schools, since they are freely chosen, and not funded by the taxpayer have no conflict with the First Amendment. Government schools, though, are in conflict with the First Amendment, since the student is under police threat to be imprisoned in these government buildings, and the taxpayer is under police threat to pay for it.
Once imprisoned in the government indoctrination camp, the student is told to shut up for most of the day. ( violation of free speech).
The government dictates what he can publish or not publish ( violation of free press).
The government strictly orders the student to associate with people the government assigned to him. ( violation of freedom of association)
The student can not freely express his religious belief. ( violation of free expression of religion, free speech, and free press).
The student is subjected to a curriculum and school policies that can never be religiously neutral in content, worldview, or consequences. ( violation of establishment of government religion).
Solution: Begin the process of totally and completely privatizing universal K-12 education.
There are several observations here. First...if I were to go into court...I’d have a dozen priest sit behind me...in full garb and crucifix. I’d make sure the Judge had a clear view and then ask if any of those guys were potential gang members.
After that...I’d bring up the toughest gang of all time...lead by some dude and his twelve gang members. I’d agree in pure satire....that they carried crucifixes and were likely the most dangerous group to ever walk the face of the earth. I’d then point out...that even in the eyes of the judge of those times...that dude was guilty and sentenced to death. The amazing thing? His gang didn’t dissolve away...they multiplied. If the juge feels this kid is a danger for wearing the crucifix then they need to haul that kid as far from humanity as possible...because the message might continue spreading.
