You know I actually do not have a problem with this if they teach the lessons of the bible as they say without proselytizing.
When I was in school, we WERE allowed to ask about the different religions and our teachers were very accommodating. They would explain the differences between them and how and what each one believed in.
Never once did anyone inflict THEIR religious belief on us and never did we feel forced to pray. There was moments of silences held for kids who died and I don't care what you say, those moments of silence are usually meant to be prayer. Were we supposed to be wiping out minds out of all thought? Impossible.
Our country was founded on Judeo/Christian beliefs and our Declaration of Independence says:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It's the word their that makes it all universal and non denominational and open to anyone who has religion or NOT.
Our constitution says no one can RULE by faith - this is pretty simple. You cannot make a legal decision based on religious beliefs.
It's only a problem if they are preaching and not teaching. Theology can be a very interesting subject.
