Certainly he does. However, does he have the right to demand that a group of people (in this case children) be forced to listen? That's a much more slippery slope.
As to the subterfuge claim, I'll like to ask all the following question.
If Ronald Reagan asked to do the same thing in 1983, would you be saying the same thing as you are saying now?
