The following excerpt is from Ware v. Valley Stream High School Dist., 550 N.E.2d 420, 551 N.Y.S.2d 167, 75 N.Y.2d 114 (N.Y. 1989):
[550 N.E.2d 427] It is generally acknowledged that mere exposure to ideas that contradict religious beliefs does not impermissibly burden the free exercise of religion. 4 The First Amendment does not [75 N.Y.2d 125] stand as a guarantee that a school curriculum will offend no religious group. 5 Moreover, parents have no constitutional right to tailor public school programs to individual preferences, including religious preferences (see, Epperson v. Arkansas, 393 U.S. 97, 106, 89 S.Ct. 266, 271, supra).
