I, of course, agree with Tom that true school choice is the real solution to the culture wars being fought in government schools. Only school choice affirms religious liberty, freedon of thought and belief, and tolerance for all children. And only it avoids all "captive audience" issues.
But I still see nothing wrong with schools honoring the requests of religious parents to let their children go one hour a week. And I don't see well-supervised study halls as any more a "prison" than the rest of the mandatory government school day. Zorach was correctly decided. There is no EC problem when public schools separate themselves from religious children one lousy hour per week.
