It wouldn’t have bothered me at all. I’m not religious. I’m just logical. It’s a local church performing outreach. Fine. A local hotel did that at my school. They sent us all coupons for a night’s stay. Fine. I would have thrown both away and gone on to live my life rage-free. But I’m agreeable like that.

But if you want to get angry because somebody did something harmless, then go for it. I personally don’t think we need to add more rage into our already angry society, but you do you OP.


It’s against the law but other than that I’m so, so, so glad you’re not bothered by this Pollyanna. Your means means nothing to me. Keep church stuff out of school.

Repeat after me: religion does not belong in school. Keep it away from my kids.

Good for you! I would have done the same.

Such hypocrites. Complain to the principal. Complain to the super intendant. Complain to the school board. Someone is complicit in this religious proselytizing and it's super inappropriate at work.


I don’t care if you put a book with 2 dads in an envelope in a teachers mailbox

I am a tolerant Democrat. I tolerate everyone in the workplace. Muslims, Jews, Hindus. They should all be able to come to work without having your religious crap crammed down their throats. They are there to do a job, not be proselytized to. I'm sure this will go right over your head.


Sounds like they weren’t interrupting your job. They left an envelope. You could have thrown it away. You could have taken it home to read it. You could have fed it to the shredder. You chose to open it and read it.


It should never have been placed in the teacher's work mail boxes idiot!

So is it just as bueatiful for Islamic people to shove their religious content in your box?

Np It's gross and I would be complaining about it. It's absolutely inappropriate to foist your religious nuttery on me at my job. Gross and ignorant.

Some people on here definitely need therapy. You sound unhinged.

I don’t think it was a good idea to distribute these notes. It may have been well intentioned, but you should know your audience.

If it is a 1x thing, I would let it go. If more than that, I would address it.

+1

It's a 30 second annoyance. You look at it and throw it away. They're trying to be nice. Leave it be. No need to go scorched earth over a failed attempt to be nice.

No, they are not. Nice would be respecting that other people dont want your religion shoved in their face. If they wanted to go to your POS church, they'd go.

School mailboxes should be full of school related items.
Not proselytizing.

+1 As a Christian it offends me that others lower perceptions of Christians by proselytizing in inappropriate places, which includes the workplace. I would hate for non-Christian staff to feel targeted and unwelcome because of this. I would make sure the principal is aware of it.

FWIW, I work in a corporate office and if I went around putting bible verse cards on everyone's' desks or in their internal mailboxes I'd be getting a serious talk with HR!


This a 1000%. Another Christian who feels the same way.
