Which of your above statements? I'll restate that all groups have uses and drawbacks, and some that I'm sure you hold dear to your heart have many serious drawbacks. Life isn't pretty, but most groups that set out to make our country more human have strayed and are now hamstringing it. Even when I argue against one of these (I'm purposefully not dropping names) I don't say it's a cancer that should be simply eradicated. You say that religion does no good at all in schools? Even the most staunch atheists here at university don't try to make such a blatantly overreaching tactic. You can, however, argue that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits in certain venues of public education. You have a problem with students getting pushy with students of other faiths, or with the formation of cliques? Then argue what you mean. If you truly would have students punished for displaying overt signs of religious belief or congregating with others of the same faith ,like a don't ask don't tell policy for religion, then you have left the realm of rationality I'm afraid.
