Teaching about religion in schools is an important part of understanding history. Traching religion in public schools is exactly what our founders wanted to protect us from. If a bunch of students want to pray (like Muslims, who are supposed to do it 5 times a day,) the school should be accomodating and find a place for them to do that. If a student wants to say grace before eating (not that many ever do, but it happens,) it's perfectly fine.
Anyone who gets offended by seeing another person practice his or her religion in public needs to remove the stick from their ass and crawl back into their cave or prreferred place of worship. Unless we're dealing with human sacrifice or anything else disruptive or harmful, people need to be given freedom to practice what they believe, but they also need to keep it out of my face if I'm not interested.
