The only real limitation on religion in public schools is the ban on teachers and school officials using school time and resources to preach and proselytize. Students are free to discuss religion, try to convert their classmates (outside of class time and barring disruption, of course) and start Bible study and other religious groups (and generally use school facilities on the same level as any other club or organization).
They're trying to raise a generation of kids who have no exposure to Christianity so that they think it's normal and they keep feeding them the *separation of church and state* as if it's truth so that the little drones never question it.
Kids learn Christianity at home and at their churces. It's a bad idea, IMO, to expect the schools to teach religion. In most schools, it would be impossible to even decide what religion to teach, even if that was allowed.
Allowing religious expression is not *teaching* religion.
All your arguments fall flat in light of the religious activity that was part of the public school system in whatever form it existed in, for the centuries from the founding of this country until the recent past.
Prayer and Bible reading were part of the school day until the ACLU and its cohorts pushed it out. Show me what damage all that religious activity in schools did up until that point.
It's just an excuse to remove religion, particularly Christianity, from public and eventually, private life.

WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA! The issue isn’t remotely about “teaching religion” in schools ... how is that concluded by say the Georgia ACLU threatening the school board here in Newton County Georgia to remove Christmas from the school calendar or face legal action?
How is the recognition of God or even a federal holiday “teaching religion”?
BTW, NO parents were informed, and the lawyer for the school said not to change it but out of fear, they removed the mere WORD CHristmas from all aschool calendars.
DOZENS upon DOZENS of other examples, that you sure as the day is long won’t hear about from the drive-by media!
