Actually, one could reach a different conclusion about “ignoring” religion in the common schools: religion is sufficiently important to so many Americans, but since we hold a wide range of religious or philosophical views, that we respect religion, its uniqueness and its diversity, if we leave it to other non-public institutions to teach about it.

But this is why education must including teaching about religion. Stigma and exclusion attach to the things we disregard, the things we discount, the things we devalue. Few things more effectively communicate disregard, discounted importance, and devaluation as well as the act of ignoring.
