I think exceptions should be made for private schools. If you want to send your kid to a school that teaches your particular brand, go ahead. Publicly funded schools should be bound by the 1st amendment though.
The school still has to satisfy the standards of the state it is in. No "intelligent design" in biology class, for example. It can have additional classes though.
Also, no public money, like vouchers, should be accepted in such schools.
The problem is when private schools get government funding, say through subsidies or voucher systems.
The existence of private schools incentivizes religious government officials to defund public schools.
If public schools aren't going to teach what they want, they'll remove funding from them.
