Fundamentally, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a religiously neutral school. Why? Answer: Because such a philosophic state of neutrality can not exist in the mind of any human.
This action by the state legislature is NOT religiously neutral. Why?
1) All of the students who are in the government single-payer school under threat of police action have had their right to free association violated by the government. While in this prison-like environment, they will be subjected to religious worldviews of others that they and their families find repugnant. Don't be surprised when Muslims, atheists, gays, and Satanists take every opportunity within the law to impose their religious worldview on their fellow student captives.
2) It is NOT religiously neutral for the government to dictate free speech and expression of religion, and this law does exactly that!
As an ever-skeptic that any good can happen in a public schooling system, your take is understandable. That does not make it any less tendentious.
My take: It’s better to have a Mars Hill than to have a stifled silence. But Christian families now have a challenge. They cannot let children go unprepared. Evangelistic opportunities await and should be well exploited.
