The Judicial system gets to interpret that and in the case of constitutional law that would be the Supreme court. I believe that they made a ruling on that one already, but hey they could change their minds. It is mostly about Federal Funding as BlueSky pointed out.
So lets turn the table on this slightly. Say there is a large Muslim population in City X. The citizens there overwhelmingly want to model their public schools like traditional muslim schools. Will you be cool with that?
I wonder what public schools are like wrt religion in Utah.

The role of the Supreme Court is the authority to invalidate legislation or executive actions which, in the Court’s considered judgment, conflict with the Constitution. So show me the federal legislation that dictates what religious classes can or cannot me taught in schools. Any laws should automatically conflict with the first amendment.
Your example is already becoming a reality in some parts of the country. It's only a matter of time they will use the Constitution to establish Sharia law.
