Adults were standing in front of my son's school handing out Bibles [View All]

to the kids after school. They made sure they weren't on school property, but were on a sidewalk at the exit driveway. The kids who walk or ride their bikes had to walk or ride right by them to get out of the school parking lot. MY son wasn't handed a Bible (LUCKY FOR THEM) because he's a car rider. He was riding home with a friend on this day and said he saw 3 kids take Bibles from these people. He mentioned it to me when he got home and I was not a happy mom, but said nothing to the school because the people were on public property.

Then, I was reading our speakout column in our local paper which is local people calling the newspaper and speaking out on current and local events, anonymously, and the paper prints the remarks in this column (very cool column and fun to read). One parent had called in to complain about those people handing out Bibles to CHILDREN in front of our school. She/he was not happy about it and thought, as I did, that a school was NOT an appropriate place for adults to be passing out Bibles (this is a middle school..6th, 7th, and 8th graders). Then in response to that remark, someone else called in and told the unhappy parent that he/she "should be MORE concerned about guns, sex and drugs AND WOULD IT BE SO BAD TO LEARN ABOUT JESUS CHRIST??" My response to that was (to myself), UH, YEAH! My son is Jewish.

How do you all feel about this? I was FURIOUS when my son told me about this, but there's not a damn thing I can do about it if they were on public property. I fear the next thing will be these people IN THE SCHOOL proselytizing.

Speakout....how do you feel about this?
