Teachers can and do harass students who express their religious faith.
For example, if a school permits student political or hobby clubs of any sort, then they must also permit students to organize Bible study or other religious courses. Schools are free to teach about religious beliefs. Their courses can describe the positive and negative effects that religion has had on society. But they are required to give a balanced presentation and are not permitted to favor one faith group over another. Nor are they allowed to favor religious faith over no religious faith.
