do you believe that after school activities should be off school grounds especially if they are religious?

Question

like see you at the pole and fellow christian atheletes, I believe that having them on school grounds makes christians feel like they are the preferred religion in a public school setting, therefore they will try to teach the bible in school.

Answer 1

Feel free to bar any Christian group from access to the schools. There is just one caveat, however. You must also prohibit all other groups that meet in schools as well. No 4-H, no Boy or Girl Scouts, no PTA, etc.

Lovely thing about the equal access clause. You must allow access to all, or none. Otherwise, you discriminate.

Answer 2

I disagree. If a group of kids wants to meet at the flagpole to say a prayer, talk to fellow Christians, build up each others faith after dealing with crude people all day it's fine by me. Being a Christian means being humble so I don't see them as trying to look the part or being preferred. Just leave them alone.

Answer 3

Religious activities after school are fine provided it applies to all religions. What would be really good is to have a mixed religion meeting so the kids could learn about each other's beliefs. After all we all pray to the same God - don't we? If we have to have religion at all why not make it fun. Some of us take ourselves soooo seriously.

Answer 4

NO ! Our ancestors were mistreated and given a hard time for being good and believing in God. And for this reason only did they venture to what was known at that time as Forsaken Territory ! That they might be able to practice their Faith in God. Now, here it is over 300 hundred years later, and we have individuals who are doing it all over again. I believe you drew a line in the sand against people who mean you personally any harm, physically or verbally ! I'm assuming you would rather have Muslim jihadists with their masks on yelling " Behead the Infidels " ? May God Bless you and open your Heart to reason and compassion for others !! God Bless.......

Answer 5

I can't believe in today's society there are still people like you. How can you exculde Christians like that for showing their faith? Isn't this a free country where everyone has equal rights? What if the majority of a certain school had Jews or Muslims or Buddhists or WHATEVER. Would that make it right for them to be excluded? Geez...can't believe this question.

Answer 6

I am not familiar with "the pole" but as long as the school building is being rented or use freely by groups equally (unless they have been banned for reasonable causes) then I don't care who meets at the school.

Answer 7

After school activities are a choice, if you choose to get together with other christians why would anyone care? The bible ays when 2 or more are gathered I am in their midst, it makes satan nervous.

Answer 8

As long as their is equal opportunity for other religious groups to meet, then these meetings are fine. Where problems come into play is when there are exclusionary policies in place that seem to favor one religion over another.

Answer 9

Definitely not, should they be removed for being atheists because they believe in nothing??? or muslim because they're terrorists???? Come on.... that's rediculous. You're talking about segregation that's to a worse extent than that of blacks and whites. Grow up.

Answer 10

After School activities on school grounds are fine, as long as they are secular in nature, sports, art, music. special classes etc.
Any kind of religious organizations/activies have no place on school grounds. Period.
