Indianapolis Judge: I'm sorry, you're not allowed to teach your nine-year-old son about your religion, because it's not on the approved list for American children.

The prohibition is, in fact, from "exposing" the child to "non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals."

It does not define "mainstream".

You know, Alien overlords would solve this problem nicely.

I'm about ready to surrender to Our Space Brothers the minute they show up.

Huh. I just posted this, without even checking to see if you had already.

And, yeah.

I loved the bit where it's implied that the school should decide what religion the kid should have, not the parents.

Yeah, especially since sending your kid to a parochial school run by a religion of which you are not a member is oh-so-rare in this country. (I nearly wound up in Catholic or Quaker school. I was nominally brought up Catholic, but my family's pretty nonreligious—the idea was that I get a good education.)
