'You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong, you lack empathy, not religion.' - Not my saying, but pretty much fits my opinion on the topic.
I agree absolutely that schools, especially state funded, should remain secular. As for the schools referred to in the OP, from my own POV, now living in a muslim country, it's dangerous to allow it to go on if the concerns are proved to be true.

Again, you seem to believe that absence of religious belief is a neutral position, and therefore preferable. It is not.
