Reply #80: This thread has gotten ridiculous

[Mystified]

Some bar-bending, brick-breaking christians performed for an assembly period and handed out tickets for a show at the church. Big deal. The school doesn't have religion classes, nor should it. Many people who have posted on this thread appear frightened at the fact that children may encounter people who think differently than they do at school. Many parents don't approve of a religious message at school? Well, many parents don't want their children to be taught about sex at school. Both groups probably believe the respective issues are best dealt with at home, not in the public arena. I for one think it is a good thing when children are exposed to a diverse array of ideas. Would I want the school to have a religious theme everyday? No. But we are talking about ONE assembly period. If a parent can't handle their child's questions about religion after they're exposed to one assembly period of a power lifting god squad then I don't know what to tell you.

To clarify, Vet for Peace, this rant is not aimed at you specifically but at the general view that some ideas should not be mentioned at all in schools.
