In which granite tablets inscribed with the 10 commandments were removed from
school property.
Is this separation or liberalism run amok?

I don’t think so. Of course the real solution is to eliminate public
schools. Private schools may do whatever they please in this aspect.

Real solution?
It sounds like a good idea, until one considers the possible results of such a
policy:
Public schools (at least in Australia, and I am led to believe in the US as
well) offer the cheapest education. Most parents want to (if not have to - but
I guess one could change that too), send their children to school.
Many parents have to choose the cheapest option, so their children go to the
public school.
Of course, if public schools are eliminated, the cheapest option becomes the
cheapest private school. And who runs the cheapest private schools? Or, put it
another way, which large institutions have the ability to subsidise education
and a desire to educate children in a particular way?
Remember the Jesuit adage: “Give me a boy up to the age of seven and I will give
you a Catholic” (or something similar...).
