[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t we just love to feel outraged?

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Why do you keep repeating how you feel about this. It’s completely irrelevant. It’s against the law. That is the only thing that matters. Churches absolutely can’t enter a school and spew their shit. You are insane. Students can have a prayer group if they organize it themselves but that’s an entirely different thing. [/quote]

DP: Whether the flyer is legal or not depends on a few things. Does the school allow other outside mail to be put in the mail boxes, like advertisements from private companies? Invitations to non-school-related events?

"Schools may impose the same reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions on distribution of religious literature as they do on non-school literature generally, but they may not target religious literature for more permissive or more restrictive regulation."  https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/religionandschools/prayer_guidance.html[/quote]

Thank you!
All those just spouting "IT'S AGAINST THE LAW!" seem really dumb.
It's not against the law to mail things to your local public school.  
If the local church addressed dozens of envelopes to every teacher at the school, put them in the mail, and then the school secretary got the mail and distributed the envelopes appropriately, no one did anything wrong.  You don't get to dictate what mail is delivered to you.

Likewise, if your school says community organizations can distribute info to teachers, and the secretary put these envelopes in all the mailboxes right along side the coupon for the local pizza place and the local store advertising its school supplies, then no one did anything wrong.

Now... if your school doesn't let anything but official school business into the teachers mailboxes, but the secretary goes to that church and offered to put them into mailboxes since she has easy access, that's a totally different story.  Churches don't get to distribute material if no one else is allowed to do so.[/quote]

You responded to a quote explaining that it's illegal, but saying it's not illegal. [/quote]
