“”Are my taxes paying for the facility? If the answer is yes, then I don’t want the organized practice of religion there.”

There are LOTS of things my tax dollars are spent on that I dislike. Why should you be able to shut down someone’s religious freedom? Why should they be prevented from praying on school property just because you don’t like it? There are a LOT of things that are taught in schools that I do not approve of - can I shut them down on my whim?

Why should you have freedom from religion if I cannot have freedom from anti-religion? If atheists can meet and discuss, why can’t Christians?

I'm not. They are free to go do this in their church(es).

I may personally like what they are saying. But my likes and dislikes aren't the point.

There are a LOT of things that are taught in schools that I do not approve of - can I shut them down on my whim?

The action here was not done on the whim of one person. It was done by a locally elected school board. You have the chance to vote for your school board members.

I don't think anti-theist groups should be able to meet in the school either. Please take a lok at my post #35. Would you be OK with that?
