I don't see "rub out religion"
Perhaps I missed it but I didn't see where the school system prevented the student from practicing a particular religion. Whether or not we agree with this particular decision, it seems that at any other time the student was certainly free to do what she wanted. Did the school prevent her parents from giving her religious instruction? Did the school prevent her from celebrating her religious holidays?
I don't think that you can throw this up as a counter example to
"This was done without either of us requesting it and at the judge's whim," said Jones, who has organized Pagan Pride Day events in Indianapolis. "It is upsetting to our son that he cannot celebrate holidays with us, including Yule, which is winter solstice, and Ostara, which is the spring equinox."
From this arcicle.

Re: I don't see "rub out religion"
I see where you could use it as a counter point but to me it seemed fairly innocuous compared to Crash's example.
Doesn't the singer have a right to select the song of her choice, isn't it her right of free speech? Where is the ACLU?
I am not sufficiently versed in the law to answer your first question. As to the second, it wasn't clear from the article that the student asked for the ACLU's help. If she had they might have defended her. I don't think the ACLU typically gets involved in these cases unless someone asks for help.
