It depends on your definition of a "Public School". If it's a school offered/run by a public entity, then I'd agree that thy are non-denominational. However, the big push in Wisconsin by both a Republican governor and a Republican legislature is for so-called "voucher schools" whereby private and religious schools are partially funded by taxpayer money.

The argument for that is "they provide a better education than the public schools". Unfortunately, the research shows that they don't perform any better and in some cases don't provide as good an education.

I don't know if that meets the definition of separation of church and state, but it sure as hell is not non-denominational.
