Just go apply at a catholic school if it is that important to you.

You want to work somewhere where people’s rights are intentionally violated?

Catholics are not putting flyers in your mail box.

I have been sent invites to random churches near my home - I am not livid. Lighten up.

I'm livid. It was in our mailboxes. The secretary must have agreed to let a parent do this.

I'm Muslim, not Christian and have no issues reading bible or listening to a Christian sermon if nothing interesting in on radio. However, I wouldn't like anyone leaving religious messages at my home or work, no matter it's my own religion or someone else's. I understand their good intent but boundaries must be respected.

Evangelicals have no boundaries. It’s inherent in their belief system. And it’s pervasive . And it’s poison.

How is it poison? Please elaborate.

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.

What f***** up red state is this in?! This is highly illegal. Church and state need to be kept separate! I'd be looking for a new job faster than you can say "amen!"

Honey, I am completely sober! People who think God is real are embarrassing. It's like believing in Santa. Once your age hits the double digits, it's not cute anymore. Have fun crying when Trump loses in November! Go Kamala!! Go Tim!!

God is real, and I’m not a Trump voter. And you still sound unhinged.

Really? Then why are kids get their heads blown off at school? Why did my mom die from cancer at age 60? Why do people abuse animals? I'm waiting...

In an Islamic country I lived in during college, proselytising was illegal. Would you rather people didn’t have the freedom to share their religion?

We also have freedom from religion! Also, just because you have a right to do it, doesn't mean it is right! The workplace is NOT the place to preach about religion in most cases.

So you think God should do your bidding, make your life easier, less tragic? Kind of like a genie in a bottle? Tell me more.

Shove your Bible up your ass and f*** off, church lady. This is why people find Christians annoying.

Brilliant response. Your theology chops are phenomenal. You’ve really come up with some unique reasons to not believe in God.

You ABSOLUTELY should keep your beliefs to yourself within your classroom. I hope you are not condemning your religious students, and I hope you are able to treat them with the respect they deserve.

As much as you don’t want a flyer in your mailbox, I don’t want a teacher for my children who is going to judge and condemn them. Your unreasonable reaction to a well-wishing flyer is, frankly, scary.

And I wish you wouldn’t relate this to Harris’s campaign. I am also voting for Harris, and I don’t think you are doing her any favors relating her campaign to hate.
