That parents have an exclusive right to see to their childrens religious upbringing is an accepted precept, imo..

Absolutely. And for the better part of 200 years, it was also a precept to expect such religious upbringing upheld by the public schools and institutions by which our Liberty was dependant; a religious and moral people. To prohibit such religious exercise infringes on liberty, lowers community standards and relegates our people to the vices of tyranny imposed by men.

No one is trying to prohibit your religious rights.
You teach your kids, -- I teach mine..
NO ONE gets to play religious games at school under the guise of handing out "free" pencils with religious slogans on them.
Simple rule? -- Apparently not, to the zealots among us..
