You are WAY off here. The school is public but there are bible study classes. In fact ALL public schools in Russia have them. There is no PC SeCS in Russia. In fact, most of the kids have returned from summer bible study camps. From what I've heard, the Russian kids absorb the Holly Scriptures with the thirst of those poor little children. After all, they were kept thirsty for 75 years by another gang of terrorists.

I don't think that "School Number One" was an exclusively Christian school. Jews, Muslims and also atheists may have attended there.

I highly doubt that the kids were in any Bible study camps. Osetia is a Christian region, indeed, but Russian Christian community is not too religious (actually, as well as Muslim part of Russia, too). This tension has nothing to do with religion, it's a question of nation (and for Chechens all the other nations are a sort of untermensch in Nazi lexicon) which has roots in simple lust for power and money of their leaders...
