My dear SoftballMominVA, you have made my day with your post.
Our principal actually announced that she "hoped that the teachers would allow the students to view at least the funeral." Our faculty is very conservative (at least for a public school) and every room I've gone by, including the library, office, gym and cafeteria all have the service on. One of my students sang with the tenor "Ave Maria" and it was beautiful to hear.
