Steve, it's called "freedom". People have freedom to do things. Other people may not like that such things are being done, but that's why we Constitutionally limit our government.

There is a Constitutional Amendment specifically protecting the free exercise of religion. There is NOT a Constitutional Amendment that requires it to be behind closed doors or away from those who simply wish it didn't occur.
Freedom for the minority is the whole point. "99% of us are C of E, you Puritans can just sit outside and like it!"

In the 2d part, you once again demonstrate that you entirely miss the point. At a government function—a public school graduation—it becomes endorsement by the State.
