Religious symbols are not imposing religion on anyone. The law also states that Congress can endorse no religion .... it doesn't say local governments cannot be representative of its consituents.
The USSC disagrees with you about what consitutes imposition, and state/local governments are bound by the Bill of Rights through the 14th Amendment. It might as well say Congress, state legislatures, local councils, school boards, etc.
Don't like it. Try to overturn the 14th Amendment.
You can also say what you wish as far as freedom of expression is concerned but the fact remains, allowing one and not the other is discrimination. And contrary to your opinion, it appears the law is far more concerned with political correctness than it gives regard to impact.
I agree with you that current political feelings and issues of political correctness do play a factor in the application of the law. It shouldn't, but it does. I don't find the answer to be constricting its application to its lowest denominator, but working to expand its application to the broadest, most consistent limits.
