I wonder if the rules include the right not to have religious observation?

Your children have the right to share their faith at school. Do they know that? Do their teachers know that? January 16 will be declared "Religious Freedom Day." By special proclamation, President Bush will ask schools to commemorate the day. Do our schools need this focus on religious freedom? Yes! Leftist groups, like the ACLU, have been hammering away at school teachers and administrators for years, trying to turn our schools into religion-free zones. But the law is on our side. The U.S. Department of Education has released a simple set of guidelines that clearly lay out your child's legal rights to observe and share his faith at school. Many teachers don't even know these guidelines exist, so why not observe Religious Freedom Day, Jan. 16th, by giving your child's teachers a copy?
