Just to be precise -- you don't have a right to a good education.  No where
is that guaranteed in the constitution and no philosophy or Natural Rights
has ever postulated that. In this country, we feel a moral obligation to do
our best to ensure that all children have an opportunity to receive a
quality, free public education. We have laws that mandate free education for
all children. But it is not a right.

Not that the teacher isn't interfering with the law that says the student
has a legal claim on a quality, free education, just that it is not a right.

No, your religious rights haven't been stepped on. The teacher preaching
does not keep you from practicing your religion.

Your right to a good education has been stepped on. And that is a problem.
