This is a concern for us as we are not Christian. Considering FCPS is a public school district, is there anything we can do?

I love music from all religions. It’s fun to listen to.
If the bus driver is sitting there lecturing kids and trying to convert them, that would be a totally different answer from me, but this is kind of ridiculous.
We have a bus driver shortage. Complain about unsafe bus drivers, not ones playing some music.
It’s not intolerance, there are lots of Christians in positions of power trying to push the limits of the establishment clause all the time. They are well funded and organized and continuously bringing cases like the recent football coach one and passing laws like the Bible teaching law in Ohio. The only way (and the best way imo, in our best available system) to combat that is to also fight (legally) constantly over where the line is and should be. I think it’s fair to say that people don’t really care that much about whatever the particular thing in each of these cases is, it’s more about the continual tug of war over the whole concept. I think the bus music thing is probably a bad choice of battlefield and that’s why I would leave it alone.
There are like zero Christians in power on the Fairfax County school board, and very few Christians on the board of supervisors.
You are using a fake argument.
Teach your kids tolerance.
Why is it always christians wanting tolerance toward them, but not remotely sharing the sentiment in the reverse?
Not true. Christians tolerate a lot.
Ummm ok
