In my personal life, sure. In state-sponsored public schools? No. In my Country in state-sponsored public schools children have religion classes and they participating on the voluntary basis. Other confessions have the same chance. Nobody makes problems about that.
Meditation has many different purposes in many person's lives. May have different purposes and effects but goal is the same. Buddhism honors no god. But it is religion. Is it your feeling that Buddhists don't meditate? They meditate of course, but the object or goal of their meditation they can call as they like... it's essentially the same as in other religions no matter they honors God or not.
