The root issue for me in this whole debate
is that "religious speech" has been relegated
to a second-class status in public institutions
by the Supreme Court (in effect if not intended).
How come students can have extra-curricular on-
campus activities like a Stamp Club, History Club,
TM Sessions, Witchcraft Club, etc.,etc., ....
but a Bible Club brings the ACLU out of the woodwork?
Talking about Jesus, Buddha, Ubizmo, or Odin on your
own time on school grounds should be allowed.  Whatever
happened to the "free market place of ideas"?
