I think it is more about the sentiment that every traditional forum for teaching youth structure and respect has been cut down. In public schools in this country you are not allowed to even mention God in any form as a teacher, but why? If you look throughout history, many of the greatest and worst moments in history have been somehow related to or based on faith.
I do not think that prayer should be in school as a requirement, but having classes or discussions of religion in other classes when appropriate is logical and consistent with the concept of offering a complete education.
Public education, like so many other things, has spent more and more time over the years playing to the minority instead of the majority. It would be so easy to teach kids right and wrong based on history and faith while be inclusive of all faiths. After all, once broken down, the basis of nearly every faith on the planet is simply teaching people to be nice to each other.
