Legal Question in Constitutional Law in New York

Seperation of Church and State

The JROTC program in my high school requires that all students say the Cadet Creed which ends in ''May God grant me the strength to always live by this creed.'' If any atheist refuses to say it, he would possibly lose points which affect his grade directly. Is this a violation of a student's rights? Thanks in advance.
