Subject: Bible verse card at work

I'm livid. It was in our mailboxes. The secretary must have agreed to let a parent do this.
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.
+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.

Anonymous cards with Bible verses are the most low level proselytizing imaginable.

Just go apply at a catholic school if it is that important to you.
You want to work somewhere where people’s rights are intentionally violated?

What’s hateful about putting a card with a verse on it in a mailbox?
Cramming your religion down other people’s throats at their place of work where it’s actually illegal to do that is extremely hateful.
Just because a very sad soul reads a greeting card as "cramming religion down other people's throats" does not make it so.
It sounds like a lovely greeting, wishing teachers a good year. Take a chill pill, PP, or perhaps something stronger. You are beginning to sound unhinged.
I hope you get fired if you ever do this shit at work. Keep your religious shit at home. I want no part of it. You have no right to inflict it on me. Also, it’s against the law to do this at schools so the unhinged ones are the ones breaking the law .
You’re really dumb.
The Supreme Court disagrees with you.
So does the Constitution.
BS keep your crap religious stupidity out of our schools
You don’t like the answer, but there it is again:
"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/polic...dance.html
So if a school wants to put a restriction on ALL pamphlets, then the church cannot place things in mailboxes. But if the school allows for these advertisements, then there can’t be particular restrictions. This has been covered multiple times on this thread.
I don’t care for these types of ads, but I understand why they are allowed. Since I am not interested, I will throw it away. I suggest you do the same.
Your hatred of religion concerning. Since you are a teacher, I worry about the way you will treat outwardly religious students in your class. I hope you are able to bottle this vitriol so you don’t display it to your students.
They are NOT allowed.
So your school allows no advertisements at all, then. No flyers with DSW coupons, info about neighborhood / community events, etc. Because that’s the only way religious flyers are prohibited, if ALL flyers are prohibited. If your school allows that Staples flyer with the 20% off coupon for teachers, then they have to let the church down the road welcome you back to school.
Again: you may not like it, but that’s the way it is. And it’s not a big deal. Your mailroom has a trash can, I’m sure.
This. There is no way they're not allowed. Are students allowed to wear crosses? I do wonder how these people treat Christian students? It's really sad.
I posted that question above. I can’t imagine how a teacher who exhibits this extreme of a reaction about a harmless flyer feels about actual Christians sitting in her classroom. It’s worrisome, actually.
Hear me loud and clear schools do not have religious indoctrination
Christians need to keep their pedo loving garbage out of schools
Good. Now I know. You’re a troll. We can end this now.

I really hope you’re a troll and not a teacher. If you are a teacher, you need to have a more balanced approach to people with different thoughts than yours.

I really cannot believe the ignorance of people thinking this is "against the law." Sure, it may be annoying to you--and I would never share bible verses with others, but no, it is not illegal. I raise money for a living, not for a remotely religious affiliated organization. But I do have donors and others I interact with regularly who have bible verses in their email signatures. Is that illegal, too? Honestly, I admire and appreciate it. They are not backing down, regardless of the ignorant hate toward them.
