Religion is such a touchy topic, it really shouldn't be involved in public schools in any way. These kinds of events are so easily avoidable. Just don't have them on school grounds during school hours, simple as that. My public high school had a "learning about religions" section of the curriculum for a social studies class. Basically we were split into groups, assigned a random world religion, and then we had to teach the beliefs, culture, etc to other students. This is fine if we're just learning about religions and their history and what not. But when it came time for the Scientology group to present, the information was completely off. I had already researched Scientology a ton because of my curiosity (oh a science religion?! let me look this up). I went up to my teacher after class and asked if they knew much about Scientology, teacher asked why. I did some minimal explaining of some of the controversies, and told them to look it up further. Next year, religion was cut from the curriculum.
