That legal issue...

A significant legal issue I am worried about is the aspect of religion in school.  On one hand, my religion calls me to "proclaim the good news (about Jesus Christ) to all nations", while to do so in the literal sense would certainly get me in hot water with the school, if it were a public school.  While it is not illegal to discussion religion in class as it comes up naturally, it is something that should be handled carefully. Faith is very important to me, and I will most certainly go to a school that would accept me in my faith.  I believe I can still make an impact religiously without being forceful in the school setting.  Just being a religious "presence" in the class (i.e. wear religious attire, use religious symbols, etc) without discussing it, or making my students uncomfortable--just enough for them to notice and see what kind of Christian I am.
