I'm thinking more of the state taking down of crosses from classrooms they were once in.
Do you believe this is against the will of God and we should be willing to not obey a state and keep placing them back regardless of what the state says?

This is a government institution. Drab grey bureaucrats. Can you see them instituting something like this? Decree across the board. Either they're all up or they're all down. No difference from here.

That's an interesting proposal. Let me put my answer this way:
I prefer to have an orthodox (Latin or East) society. I believe that as a society, it is far better for the souls and well being of all individuals within it. The Crucifix is a great religious symbol - perhaps the greatest that I have ever considered.
Now, who is the 'we'? Who specifically is going to put them back? Who specifically is going to buy them, and replace them? The better solution, in my estimation, is to have Catholic institutions and then the problem does not exist. That way, the constitution, and the laws of the land support the Christian viewpont and not oppose them.
