They actually are Christian schools, not just "so-called" Christian schools.
Perhaps you've interpreted their message inaccurately. One could argue that they're telling their students that what they believe is reflected in their actions. So, if you believe Southern Baptist mores, your actions will reinforce your beliefs. Also, others will see what you believe because of your chosen actions. This is simply a strategic, evangelical move. Witnessing is good. Especially if you're in the business of attracting and retaining students.
I totally agree with you about being angered by someone who puts words in God's mouth.
