[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the thing….. By the way, I a public school teacher, you get a religious card in your mailbox BUT there is more. 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.[/quote]

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!" [/quote]

Please stop day drinking. You sound unhinged and your posts are embarrassing.[/quote]

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!![/quote]

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.[/quote]

I'm not the OP who received the bible verse card but I am the "sober Democrat PP." Strangely enough, I actually used to be a teacher but haven't been one in over five years. I never expressed my opinions in the classroom. Also, this would never have happened in my school. [/quote]

Surely you can see why parents would be concerned.

I am also a teacher. This (and worse) has happened at my school. Each time I’ve just looked the other way because I have more important work to do. I also don’t view myself as above others, and I’m not going to insult my students by calling them “embarrassing” for believing in God. I am wise enough to know that I don’t know everything.

If religion must be kept out of schools to appease OP’s anger, then so must overt expressions against it.

I’m all about fairness and balance.[/quote]
