One thing that never gets mentioned about banning religious displays.Religious people are tax payers too and are therefore just as entitled to use public property as those who are not religious.Same can be said for taxing religious people or even institutions and using the money to pay for public school busses or funding those institutions in any way.If you people want a separation of church and state then it must be complete and total and without any funding from religious people or their institutions!

Complete separation of SCHOOL and state. That is the solution.
Religious people should not be taxes in any way to support Secular Humanist government school buses or funding Secular Humanist government indoctrination centers.
By the way it is impossible to have a religiously neutral government schools. Why? Because the education of the young IS fundamentally moral, ethical, cultural, and political. The values chosen or discarded WILL have profoundly non-neutral religious content and consequences for every child in the government school.
