Potomac Pizza put a $15 voucher/coupon in everyone's mailbox at my school.

Because one is religious propaganda at a secular school. Get your had out of your a$$.

Our public elementary school is rented every Sunday by a church. They hold worship services in the cafeteria. Maybe they wanted to do something nice for the teachers at the school and send them well wishes at the start of the school year. If you don't like it, that's fine. Not everything has to be your cup of tea. Throw it out, move on.

Proselytizing isn't well

Go burn the pizza coupon in the parking lot screaming about processed food prostylization!

Golly what do you do with the Anderson Windows people and everyone else who leaves junk at your house mailbox?


Why is prostylizing worse than other crimes against the Constitution?

Didn't bother reading the whole thread, but the OP noted this - "Today, every teacher received, in a sealed envelope, a bible verse written to them personally with a "have a great year" and signed from a local church."

I don't see how this is proselytizing for a particular religion. Would the OP have a problem if a fellow teacher told OP to "have a blessed day," or used another parting statement indicative of religion? What's the difference between verbal statements and printed ones?

If the school has an issue with the aforementioned well-wishes, then let the school handle it. As an individual teacher, you neither own nor have any authority over the mailboxes that contained the messages to the teachers.

Did the government mail the religious propaganda? No? Then there is no violation of the First Amendment (prohibiting establishment of religion) here. Get your head out of your crazy secular *ss.

Religious people sure are crazy angry about the idea that other people don't enjoy their literature. Lord of the Rings fans aren't like this.

It’s quite the opposite. Secular weirdos in this thread with zero understanding of the Constitution are acting like the teachers are vampires exposed to mailed garlic. Get a grip (and go to law school).

If the public school allows the distribution of non-school related material, e.g., pizza coupons, etc., the school cannot prohibit distribution of other material based on content. Take your own advice, and pull your head from your a$$.

I volunteered at my daughter’s school and one day, someone left hundreds of Christian stickers on the break room table. No idea if it was a parent or employee.

But, I did manage to snag a sticker that said “not today, Satan” and put it on our fridge. Now my family quotes “Not today, Satan” at each other all the time.
