Sarofset: I don't think I've ever seen an Atheist public school. When I attended public schools in the southern US, a lot of the teachers used Christianity to explain a lesson, they'd randomly get on a tirade about non-believers, or they'd "have talks" to the pagan students to get them to "stop their evil ways". But I guess it depends on where you attend school. Depending on the majority of the students/staff, that's the religion that they'd try and indoctrinate amongst other students.

Also, I still heavily advocate the separation of church and state in public schools, where there should be an absence of religion (not Atheism). Religion has nothing to do with education (except for those wishing to learn Intelligent Design), but those who wish to have an education based on religion can attain that by attending a religious school or being homeschooled.
