That would be publicly funded schools, i.e., those funded by the federal government.

I could have sworn I pointed out to you that this kind of thing is a conflict between two aspects of the First Amendment, and that these conflicts are always very tough. No solution is going to please both sides. If it leans toward free speech, it leans toward violating the establishment clause, and vice versa. Cite an instance of liberals advocating censorship that does *not* involve a conflict of constitutional rights.
