[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has told my that their bus driver plays extremely loud Christian music on their bus every day on a Christian radio station that also talks about God/Jesus/the Bible. This is a concern for us as we are not Christian. Considering FCPS is a public school district, is there anything we can do?[/quote]

Maybe this is an opportunity to teach your kids to be tolerant, inclusive and understand that the world is diverse. In FCPS, people with different religions should have equal opportunity to practice their believes. After all, all FCPS students have to pause their schooling so that some students can celebrate their religious holidays. At least, the bus driver's behavior won't cause learning loss. [/quote]
Perhaps employees of a public school system could use this as an opportunity to be tolerant, inclusive and understand that the world is more than christians. Changing a radio station to as to not offend everyone else is a very small ask. [/quote]
but that still leaves the student with a missed opportunity of receiving a valuable lesson in tolerance, which the student needs in their long life ahead even more than the part-time bus driver? 
Parenting 101: teach tolerance to your own kid before teaching ways to hate a bus driver for their radio station preference.  [/quote]
What tolerance does the child need to learn? That religion shouldn’t be shoved down their throat? I agree, but again, that onus is on the driver. No need to force students of a public school to have religious propaganda shoved in their face by a public school employee.

If you think asking someone who represents public schools to avoid religious propaganda as ‘hate’, well I think it’s clear what side you’re on. And it’s not the side of tolerance for all. [/quote]
