The slippery slope comes when someone gets offended by the necklace and tries to play the dress code card and have an individual remove such offending material. I used to get asked all the time in high school to turn my offensive metal band shirts inside out. Not sure why it wouldnt apply to a Jesus shirt if one were to find it offensive.

Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing this whole story reminds me of. To keep the risk of offense down, it becomes easier to start removing things or not putting them up in the first place. So something inoffensive to most gets removed pre-emptively to keep any squeaky wheels quiet.

I much prefer a stance of "this exists, and I disagree with it" over "I disagree with this, it should not be allowed to exist".

Again, if it were being forced on them - making them recite it or such, I would 100% agree it was offensive and should be removed. I just disagree with making such a stand over something nostalgic, well intentioned, and pretty inoffensive.
