They're trying to brainwash you!" insisted Rachel Goldfarb, a T.C. student who refuses to go to Jesus Pizza.

No free pizza for you Rachel!

[Always Right]

Still, when the morning announcements at the public school include an invitation to come to Jesus Pizza could that blur the bright line separating church and state?

Of course it will. A lawsuit will be soon filed by the local ACLU organization and the school will cave because it can not afford to defend itself.

[PDR]

I don’t think she goes.

[PDR]

Probably - and isn’t that sad....

[Graybeard58]

You think maybe she has friends get her some “to go”?

Ahhh. A future NOW member speaks her mind. Rosie would be proud. Btw, isn't TC Williams the high school from "Remember the Titans"?

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Breaking bread Sicilian style.

[Abathar]

Not an eyebrow would be raised if it was hosted by Planned Parenthood, no lawsuits, no bad press.

Good grief, a church gives away free pizza and immediately people think it is some kind of brainwashing scheme to turn kids conservative.

I just can't picture the world my grandkids are going to have to live in.....

[JZelle]

Sounds like Rachel’s already brainwashed.

[Millee]

Our church has been doing Jesus Pizza for years. It’s been a great success. Feed the body, feed the spirit. :o)

"It's pretty cool to see the biggest stoners and drug dealers come, too.'"

Now there's a shock. /s

It is. Thomas C. Williams was the superintendent of the Alexandria public schools during the 40's and the 50's. He was a fairly effective administator. This was in the days before PC polluted public education.

Hey, I totally agree...even Jesus gave away fish sandwiches.

It is scary. In Florida they arrest a couple of Gideons for passing out free Bibles across the street from a school. I commend the school for being brave enough to make the announcement, but I am certain they will be called on it.

[Graybeard58]

While passing through Macom, Ga. a couple of years ago, I stopped for the night and across the street from the motel was a pizza place that had a big sign that advertized Synday pizza buffet, it listed the price and under that price it listed a smaller price if you brought that Sunday’s church bulletin with you from any church.

I’ve wondered since then how long it took the ACLU to notice that.

[sgtbono2002]

I was thinking the same thing. Rachel is probably a fruit.

I remember when I was in High School we werent allowed to leave the school grounds.
