I love music from all religions. It’s fun to listen to.

If the bus driver is sitting there lecturing kids and trying to convert them, that would be a totally different answer from me, but this is kind of ridiculous.

We have a bus driver shortage. Complain about unsafe bus drivers, not ones playing some music.

It’s not intolerance, there are lots of Christians in positions of power trying to push the limits of the establishment clause all the time. They are well funded and organized and continuously bringing cases like the recent football coach one and passing laws like the Bible teaching law in Ohio. The only way (and the best way imo, in our best available system) to combat that is to also fight (legally) constantly over where the line is and should be. I think it’s fair to say that people don’t really care that much about whatever the particular thing in each of these cases is, it’s more about the continual tug of war over the whole concept. I think the bus music thing is probably a bad choice of battlefield and that’s why I would leave it alone.

There are like zero Christians in power on the Fairfax County school board, and very few Christians on the board of supervisors.

You are using a fake argument.

Teach your kids tolerance.

Why is it always christians wanting tolerance toward them, but not remotely sharing the sentiment in the reverse?

Not true. Christians tolerate a lot.

Is it because everyone says you’re part of the Maga Far Right? Or is it about the priests that assaulted young children? Maybe the televangelist that stole hundreds of millions of dollars? (Probably not that was a few decades ago.) I’m sure I forgot something.

Crusades ended hundreds of years ago. Christianity doesn't use force as a policy anymore.

Bus driver here. There is actually a list of pre-approved radio stations that we are allowed to play while students are present. Just check the list to see if this station is approved or not. If not, just call transportation and ask inform them. Be matter of fact.

Personally, I listen to NPR while alone and switch to 97.1 when students are present.

[Anonymous]

^^^ NPR is not approved, that is why I switch.

Again, there are prayer rooms in schools and we all know who they are intended for. Not Christians. Also the same people who use the rooms also have full employee accommodations during the day to use it when requested. No other religion is getting a 30 minute “prayer” break in their day.

This is a concern for us as we are not Christian. Considering FCPS is a public school district, is there anything we can do?

Very little. Maybe they can convert?

[Anonymous]

First show me in the constitution where is says separation of church and state. Ill wait

[Anonymous]

As a Christian, it’s inappropriate in a public school setting. That being said, if you annoy the driver, they might leave, and there’s a severe shortage. The pragmatic answer is headphones. I can’t tell if the bus driver is obtuse, taking advantage of the shortage, or just genuinely at the end of her rope. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Your dc shouldn’t have to.

Anti-Muslim=Fired up/ Demonstrate!
Anti-Christian=Good!

But seriously, have you listened to most radio stations? Filled with slang, sex, drugs and all the crap the major record labels want small brained idiots to think is cool.

Good for this man for listening to mild -mannered religious music just to drive your kids to school and maintain some sanity while doing so.

Leave this man alone and be thankful he is driving you kids to school.

I think you're acting entitled.
