My defining moment that made me realize that I had entered back into a delusional existence was last week when my 10 year daughter came home to tell me that they were passing out bibles at her public middle school. Still calculating my next move on that one.
Not funny... who's passing them out? I'm not sure about the law, but for teachers it would be transparently illegal, so it's a christian student group I guess? In that case I don't know if there's anything you can do.
I am still trying to figure that out. There were tables set up throughout school; in the hallways, cafeteria, and outside. There were a group of elderly people sitting at the tables - this is the info Ocean (my daughter) gave me. As the kids were walking inside/around school these elderly people were stopping the kids and giving the bibles to them. I am awaiting a return phone call from the superintendent. I agree, not funny at all; offensive and infuriating frankly.
As Ocean was walking into her GT class, a woman stopped her and stuck her hand out. Ocean says "whats this?", "a bible" she replied. Ocean said "this isn't church" and walked around the woman and into class. And while I am proud of her response - it is still BS.
