….did they ever consider adding a priest, rabbi, reverend, or a dreaded imam to a speaker slot?

You know there are rules about desecrating a flag. That ones shown is not regulation. Also, making Jesus’s sacrifice a political symbol (by coopting it) and not purely a religious one is blasphemy. Neither patriotic nor reverant in my book.
