[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I work in a public school. 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'm livid. It was in our mailboxes. The secretary must have agreed to let a parent do this. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

+1 I'm Catholic, and while I understand that it is legally permissible (when the school allows other flyers), I agree that it disrespects boundaries for people to actually do it. I feel the same way about the missionary types who come to my door. Sure, it's no big deal to say, "no thanks," but it is intrusive nonetheless. Evangelicals don't see it that way at all, unfortunately for the rest of us. It is a part of the practice of their particular form of Christianity, and within certain legal boundaries, it is allowed. While I likely would just throw the flyer away and be happy that we live in a country that allows a variety of expression, if it really bothered me or became too much, I would begin a petition to the school to change the flyer policy to disallow all unsolicited mail. That's the only way to keep it out of your personal in box in a public setting.[/quote]
