It wasn’t the Bible that they were requiring students to keep in envelopes.


Then why did the leader admit it?

Joel Penton, founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy, said, “I also heard from parents that their children felt like they were being told they had to hide their faith when they were told they had to put their Bibles and things in envelopes as though it was something to be ashamed of, and I know that was very hurtful as well.”

I want to send all Muslims back to the countries they came from. Their teachings are not compatible with Christianity. So, the question is irrelevant.


Many of them were born in the US. There is no country to send them back to.

How would you feel if the same school hosted and after-school Quran study that required students to keep their Qurans in an envelope during school hours?

Would you be OK with the school hosting an after-school Quran study?

Would you support Muslim parents who protested the envelope policy?


I'd prefer they keep their AKs, SVs, and nimchas out of the school, yes.
