Really? maybe the bus driver should learn not to impose his view on public school students during his work day.

Most schools have prayer rooms. Who do you thinks these rooms are for? Is there a crucifix hanging in them? Nope.

This one has a boys side and a girls side.

So the first one is for kids to have behavioral accommodations on their IEPs and the second ones is for Islamic students that want to pray during the day, how is that weird?


No, the first one is for prayer also. And yea, I think it’s a bit odd that public schools have prayer rooms.

My kids tolerate and roll their eyes at “boys can be girls whenever they feel like it” and they can do the same with “Jesus is the only way” .
There’s a bus driver shortage. This is not the hill to die on. The bus driver is some sort of Christian, have your kid put in their earbuds and listen to audiobooks or something.

I wonder if OP is the same person that posted about being upset that the custodian got a jeep.


OMG, please link to that! What were they upset about???

Is it 91.9? That's totally innocuous. Most songs are not even idenitifiably Christian, and the rest you have to listen pretty hard to tell.

Why can't the bus driver cycle through different religions...Jewish music one day, Hindu music the next, etc?

Kids need to be taught to be tolerant to others' beliefs. If the volume is unusually loud, maybe request they lower it a bit, without offending the driver.

I agree with you and I’m agnostic. I wonder if the people who say be tolerant of it would also be tolerant of a driver listening to prayers from another religion like Islam.


I was wondering the same. I also don't think there should be religious music of any ilk on a county bus. Surely the bus driver has time in his/her own vehicle to listen to their religious music?

Probably not, but this is a Christian country.

Suck it up. The employee had a right to listen to the music they want to listen to. Maybe your kid will learn something.

You can email your region’s transportation rep, who will talk to the driver. The driver may simply not know or not realize it’s a problem. I doubt listening to this music while working is essential to the driver — they probably would happily change the station if someone points it out politely.

I don't think anyone would get fired, unless they repeatedly played this music after school administration or transportation bosses told them not to. So far, that hasn't even happened, no need to catastrophize.


PP just wanted to inject race into the discussion for some weird reason.

Blacks are all seventh day advenists anyway. So it’s a dumb hypothetical.


But in fact not a hypothetical because WGTS which is the main OTA Christian music station, is run by the Seventh Day Adventists.

Because you're all salivating over getting some Trumpy white Christian in trouble and you choose to ignore the faith of people of color .
I had a direct report complain to HR that a coworker told him he was leading a lifestyle of sin. HR was ready to pounce until they saw what the woman looked like. Then the matter was filed away and the man was told not to discuss his personal life anymore.
