If the matter is to be decided by public opinion, the you'd never be able to get enough to matter in what appears to be a predominantly Christian community.
If it's to be decided by the law, then you have already won.
The law may be against the school, but unless enough pressure is applied, I'm sure these people would have no qualms circumventing the law to win one for Jesus. Considering the direction the religious conservatives are trying to take this country, I think that secualrists owe it to each other to fight issues such as this, or else this country will ever increasingly move towards a theocracy.
@OP Have you considered an online petition?
As of now, I am only trying to get a small amount of support. I initially intended to try to get some help on enlightening some of these people.
If things get to a larger scale (I could honestly see this going to a national level, because of the amount of support they are getting), I will do everything I can to support our/my side. A petition would be something I can definitely do.
I don't know if any of you use reddit or not, but I have a post there, too.
