"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Now, I see this as a "free exercise thereof" where the government is now prohibiting that free exercise. No where in this amendment does it say 'separation of chruch and state'. The school should not endorse or prohibit this behavior. What they should do, as required by law, is leave it alone.
The first amendment was created to prohibit the government from establishing a state run religion and forcing it on its citizens, not prohibit the expression of religion by its citizens, regardless of what religion, or where it is being practiced or displayed.
