It is basically an extracurricular, where you talk about the bible and pray. I dont necesserily object to that, but in this particular case I have my problems with this:
1)This extracurricular is solely for younger students aged 10-13
2)The content is not filtered by any school authority, eventhough they sponsor the room for this activity
3) The Students who organize it, belong to a protestant sekt, and have had problems with extremism and homophobia
I am concerned, that some of these dangerous thoughts can be forced on the younger students in this group. Especially in a school setting with students who are 4 to 7 years older, telling them what to believe.
Does anyone know what to do against that? If you know what to do, which organisation to contact, or just have any tips for me, it would be nice if you could help me Big Grin

Piss off and leave them alone. why can't you be tolerant enough to allow others the freedom to be different from you? what a self righteous lot.
Thank you for that nice response... I dont mind them being different from me/ having different opinions. I do have a probleem with homophobia being taught to little children, but if you are fine with that thats alright

3) The dungeons and dragons deals with spirits, demons, magic, and can have lots of societally evil content, all run by the students

I spoke with my schools principle. There are grade and attendance criteria the participants have to keep. No illegal content or terroristic planning is allowed. No harassment of any real people or group is allowed. I was cool with that, aside from that, it's good to let kids be kids and express themselves and not get all wound up in limiting another groups ability to meet and discuss because you're afraid of their message.

There is a huge difference between a game and a set of belives. Homophobia is not illegal, but I dont like it anyway. and i also do not think that on that matter one can "let kids be kids" and yes I am afraid of homophobia getting taught to smaller children
