If you want to argue that HISTORICALLY public schools had a significant degree of protestantism, that would probably be fair, because a significant portion of the population of students and teachers used to be protestant and/or see little distinction between 'Christian values' and general societal values.

Things have changed, and there is nothing intrinsic anymore, at least outside of some rural places, where of course the schooling reflects the values of the local populace
Ya, it sounds a lot like the (poor)argument that all morals are Christian morals. Without religion, you can't have morality. I think that's what they are getting at...
