Well, ask yourself about how public schools get away with baccalaureate programs. The one at my school was not considered to be "optional", and was held in a Catholic church, with a Catholic priest - although majority of the students were NOT Catholic.
Several of us expressed concerns over that, and were told that "that's the way it is going to be".
I went to my parents and said that I didn't want to go because there should be a separation between church and state, and that we weren't Catholic, but was given the parental override. That I can live with - they fed me, clothed me, housed me...that gave them the right to tell me what to do in my book. Especially since I wasn't 18.
Imposing religion in public schools is one of those "buttons" of mine that get pushed on occasion.
