If you read the article, the problem initially seemed to be with the content of the prayers.... And if you attended any of those meetings, how would you like to be greeted my masked people providing "safety"? I for one would definitely have my nose out of joint. Also, I just cited women's rights as one example and mentioned all religions carry baggage - so don' get so defensive. I hear what you're saying about the intention of accommodation but it didn't unfold that way. Religion by and large exited the school system - check church attendance for example. So, while it was meant to be accommodating - it has not been. The answer here is to eliminate it all together. Finally I have to disagree, the Western World is a question as it pertains to the very fabric and culture of our society.
