It wouldn’t have bothered me at all. I’m not religious. I’m just logical. It’s a local church performing outreach. Fine. A local hotel did that at my school. They sent us all coupons for a night’s stay. Fine. I would have thrown both away and gone on to live my life rage-free. But I’m agreeable like that.

But if you want to get angry because somebody did something harmless, then go for it. I personally don’t think we need to add more rage into our already angry society, but you do you OP.

It’s against the law but other than that I’m so, so, so glad you’re not bothered by this Pollyanna. Your means means nothing to me. Keep church stuff out of school.

This!

We also, at staff meetings, pray over our food that is given to us at staff meetings. We end with a bible verse. Cards passed around to sign due to birthdays or passings are religious. It’s a lot and I think they should be kept out of schools. We have 60 staff and it’s hard not to feel uncomfortable or the odd one out when everyone holds hands and bows their head but that one teacher doesn’t. Just keep it out of school and keep it moving.

All allowed. Work on your feelings of being uncomfortable in therapy.

Ah, no. Praying and ending with a Bible verse in public school is not allowed. Say grace over your own food if you need to, but no group prayer. Absolutely no need for a Bible verse. Especially since not everyone is comfortable with it.

If they are on break and no students present then they absolutely can pray together.

That is not what we are referring to, is it? Pp posted about prayer at a staff meeting, which staff are required to attend. Nobody is on a break during a staff meeting, so no prayer.

Good.

Seems like you handled it fine. I would have rolled my eyes, tossed it, then complained to my friend or DH at the time and then would have just moved on. And I think what OP did is a perfectly fine way to handle these things.

Our children's elementary school principal had a cross in her office as well as Bible verses in frames on the wall.

This angers you, but you lobbied to have Eid a holiday beacause.... progressive and inclusive calendar.

You people are a joke.

It’s a joke that you don’t get any ALL of the kids deserve to have off for their religious holidays and not just your heathen. You are simply too dumb to understand what the constitution writers meant by “separation of church and state.” Keep you flyers to yourself!

Please have your mom translate your post.

You understood me perfectly. You just don’t like I’m right.

DP - I clearly don't understand you. Why are you yelling about the separation of church and state in a bizarre defense of a holiday for a religeous minority in public schools?

Separation of church and state means there is no state established religion. Much to your dismay I’m sure. Christian holidays were de facto built in because…history. So other religions had to fight for a right to have the same rights to celebrate their religion outside of school. There is still no religion in schools. Make sense now?

Wow, how obnoxious you are. It takes me about .3 seconds to move it from my mailbox to the trash. No proselytizing was done in the classroom. Nobody forced students (or me) to pray. This is such a nonissue to me.

But I deal with real problems every day, so I guess fake problems don’t register. It’s a good thing we have others who can take the little, insignificant stuff and go nuclear about them. I’m sure they are performing some important service. Somehow.

This thread proves again that there is no hate like Christian "love".

How obnoxious and privileged you are that you never experienced religious persecution. The school is not just for you to dumb moron. As I’ve stated before, it’s against the law so I don’t give a rats ass what upsets you personally. It’s a 100% proselytizing and it has no place in schools. Your feelings and reactions are irrelevant.

Exactly!!! And all these “loving” people are doing nothing but turning people away from Jesus and his teachings. It’s quite gross what they’ve become.

What’s hateful about putting a card with a verse on it in a mailbox?

So is it just as bueatiful for Islamic people to shove their religious content in your box?

I think I'll put scarves in all of the mailboxes at my son's school and tell them how beautiful it is to cover up.

I'm sure the PP will agree on how beautiful that is too.

I literally don’t care. You can put a full head thing that just shows the eyes. I’d rip it up and use it as a dust cloth but wouldn’t care that you left it.

That totally shows how little you'd care. Keep your religious crap out of public schools.

You’re right I don’t care because it doesn’t hurt me. That’s how free speech works. You should move if you don’t like it.

Nope, my taxes pay for that school. You move if you want to have a Christian state or whatever shit you're trying to do.

I just want free speech. We already have that. So I don’t want anything. What do you want?

Prosletyzing in public schools is NOT free speech. see the link provided by the PP above.

Sorry, but this is not prosletyzing. Someone was wishing you a good day.

Guess what... I'm going to stop what I'm doing right now, PP, and pray for you. I mean that totally sincerely.

Yes, of course it is. It's vailed under well wishes but the intent is to turn your attention to the Bible and Christianity. Otherwise, whoever this dogooder is would have just said what she needed to say without the Bible verse.

Save your fake prayer. There is nothing sincere about it and Jesus wouldn't like it very much.

Too late. I've already prayed that whatever has damaged you to this degree will be lifted from your heart, as only Christ can do. And I do, sincerely, mean that.

Dear, your heart is in the right place plus you cat afford to sacrifice your prayer like this. Please pray for yourself first. You need it so much more.

Using Christ to score an argument point on the internet. How very Christian of you. Kind of tracks with everything else you're saying though.

Except that you're the only one who is arguing! I do truly hope you find some level of peace. It concerns me that you work with children.

I am not the OP, FFS. And I have a perfect amount of peace. Dont need your fake crap.

Worry about your own self and pray for your own self. And practice your religion at home and at your church. NOT at my child's school.

Well, if you are displaying "peace," I'd hate to see your definition of anger.

I really hope you can get some help. You should not be around children with a disposition like this.

The adversing spammers are just normal obnoxious main-character syndrome people.

It's actually not "against the law," but nice try. Oh, and I guess this makes your feelings and reactions irrelevant as well?
