If this had been a private school and not a government school compelled by law, there would be no case. Why is that?
Answer: There is a fundamental conflict between the First Amendment and **compulsory** government schools. The two can NOT coexist! It is impossible!
Why?
Answer: To maintain an orderly school, speech, press, free association, and practice of religion **must** be restricted. Also, there is no such thing as a religiously neutral education.
Also,,,**compulsion** means police, court, and foster care action. That is what government power is. So...the government threatens parents with imprisonment, and then herds the children into an environment in which government workers tell the children to shut up, forbid free press, dictate with whom they will associate, forbid religious expression, and finally indoctrinate them in the religion of Secular Humanism!
If the taxpayer balks at this travesty. Armed sheriffs stand ready to auction his home and business. If he resists, they will imprison him. If he seriously resists they will kill him.
Aren’t government schools great! ( Excuse me while I go barf!)
There is a solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education.
