The rule forbidding crucifixes needs to be challenged in court.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The entire premise of compulsory attendance, and forced compulsory tax funding of government schools needs to be challenged. Why?

Answer: Because government schools and the First Amendment can not coexist. Government schools are utterly incompatible with freedom of conscience. It is axiomatic!

All schools if they are to maintain order must restrict every one our First Amendment human rights. Private schools, since they are freely chosen, and not funded by the taxpayer have no conflict with the First Amendment. Government schools, though, are in conflict with the First Amendment, since the student is under police threat to be imprisoned in these government buildings, and the taxpayer is under police threat to pay for it.

Once imprisoned in the government indoctrination camp, the student is told to shut up for most of the day. ( violation of free speech).

The government dictates what he can publish or not publish ( violation of free press).

The government strictly orders the student to associate with people the government assigned to him. ( violation of freedom of association)

The student can not freely express his religious belief. ( violation of free expression of religion, free speech, and free press).

The student is subjected to a curriculum and school policies that can never be religiously neutral in content, worldview, or consequences. ( violation of establishment of government religion).

Solution: Begin the process of totally and completely privatizing universal K-12 education.
