76. Evidence of what?

My point was merely that because it's a Christian organization that it's considered "normal" and in a LOT of communities, they're invited. My public college was overrun regularly with different Christian organizations trying to get people to attend their church, handing out bibles, etc.

If a company sent representatives onto a school's property to advertise, they'd be removed. Some school districts take money from companies to fund their system because the local voters won't vote for an increase in taxes. So in places like Colorado Springs, CO, there were buses with Mountain Dew painted all over them because it was the only way to fund upkeep on those buses.

If a non-"normal" religion went on campus, it would be huge news as all of the "normal" tolerant types came out of the woodwork to protect the students from "terrorist recruiting" or however they'd refer to it.

I'm not judging any organization over any other. I'm saying it's public property and as such, private and exclusive companies should not be allowed on campus/school grounds to push their product. These private organizations have their own buildings, and their own budget to advertise in other places.
