At the risk of suggesting unpopular ideas, what is so terrible about Christian youths being put under pressure for having unpopular views? Where did Christ or any of his apostles tell Christians that their views would be popular with the world?

Quite the opposite, as I recall. Perhaps a better approach would be to teach Christian youths that they should be proud to be unpopular for being moral.

They should express their views and let the school authorities know exactly how they feel. If one student does it, many more might follow.

Sometimes you have to walk away from a bad situtation, but then of course you would let the school officials know exactly why you are leaving. School officials would rather students stay put so they can get state aid for their attendance. As far as I'm concerned, all the power is in the hands of the parents and students if they choose to use it, not in the hands of a minority who feel they have to push their agenda on everyone.
