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

Cramming your religion down other people’s throats at their place of work where it’s actually illegal to do that is extremely hateful.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yes, it really is. Go look it up. And you are correct that my feelings don’t matter. It’s the law that matters. So just follow the law and we will all be fine.

Civilized people don't pollute public spaces just next it's not that bad if only they do it. They aren't special exemption to decent behavior. It's trashy behavior to selfishly commandeer limited common space like that. Do you like filtering through your spam email to find import messages?

Someone at my job has a bible verse in their email signature.

They are not a very nice person, ironically.

Just because a very sad soul reads a greeting card as "cramming religion down other people's throats" does not make it so.

It sounds like a lovely greeting, wishing teachers a good year. Take a chill pill, PP, or perhaps something stronger. You are beginning to sound unhinged.

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.

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.

And you need to stay away from my children with your brainwashing shit. Thanks

Fortunately, people like you don't determine who gets to be around children.

Unfortunately, people like you get to recruit vulnerable children to abuse at your churches.

If you think a gift is good because it makes the sender feels good, not the recipient, you need to spend a lot more time reading the Bible.

I hope you get fired if you ever do this shit at work. Keep your religious shit at home. I want no part of it. You have no right to inflict it on me. Also, it’s against the law to do this at schools so the unhinged ones are the ones breaking the law .

I get to determine who gets to be around my children. And I can tell you right now, my kids would not be in your class. Nor would I feel any obligation to keep quiet to other parents as to the reason why.

Anyone who gets this upset about a simple "have a good year card" has a mental health issue. Any rational person would see that.

By the way, you don't have kids of your own, do you? Ask me how I know.

Careful. The your Christlike love is shining right through.

My guess is that you’re not responding to OP. There are definitely a lot of us who feel the same way she does. I’m grateful your “good natured” Bible verses are not allowed in public schools where children of all religions belong. But you are probably one of those Christian’s who thinks they are all demanded to hell and you’re just saving them. I hope there are many more teachers like OP in our public schools instead of lunatics like you.

I would write RETURN TO SENDER and leave it on the desk of the secretary who put it in my mailbox.

Perhaps you are far wiser than me. All I can find online is many references to the fact churches CAN distribute flyers at schools. Can you point out the specific law?

I stand by my initial thought. I’m going to throw out the flyer. I’m also going to throw out most of the flyers with it. I’m too busy doing my job, so I don’t have room to get angry about the little things.

I may not have a lot of room for religion, but someone I work with may. The same way someone I work with may find use in the soccer lesson flyer, the store coupon, etc.

I’m not about limiting people.

Teacher here. I’m more offended by the extra work dumped into my box than some flyer.

Who says you have to read it?
