Just got an e-mail (sent to all parents) that my daughter's middle school has a student-led FCA sponsored bible study/devotion group every other Thursday morning prior to classes and I don't know how to feel about this.

My initial impression is that I don't agree with schools being used for this purpose, and it feels manipulative that breakfast tacos are provided and prominently mentioned in the e-mail.

There has been an increasing influence of the church in the district these last few years.

It's not illegal because sponsored activities always occur outside of instruction hours and the district is compensated, like renting space.

I don't like it at all, no matter how much money we need because of Texas' Robin Hood policies.
