The fact that one agent of the goverment favours one religion is not indicative that the government favours a religion.

Firstly, I don't think this is true. Classrooms normally have character derived form teh teacher who teaches there. While it doesnt belong to them, its still 'their space'. They get to decide what posters and decorations to put up.
Secondly, the line is pretty unclear, what if you were say, a history teacher. There is a convincing argument that the cruxifiction is probably the most important event in western history, even if you don't beleive in christianity.
Thirdly, teachers should be free to argue (in response to a question) that their view is correct. This is how learning is done. Then they can ask a different teacher the same question, and get a different answer. It's bizarre to think that this would be indtrination. Its only indoctrination if you demand that all your teachers say the same thing, even if they personally dis agree with it.
