Is this related to the teacher passing around some cotton, in a classroom, during a lesson on the antebellum south?

A troubled individual IMHO such is the kind of person that feels driven to stage hoaxes.

Who cares, seriously who cares! If you really want this stuff to not be an issue just ignore it, give it no oxygen. This is only an issue because adult children are so easily offended.

It’s great free publicity for the church.

I’ve picked cotton. I didn’t think of it being a crime.

Just HOW do you “trespass” on a church? Is every congregant every Sunday “trespassing”? If I should stop into a church to pray, am I trespassing? Does the minister, pastor or priest need to be out front to welcome you in to avoid trespass?

Hate trespassing & hate littering!! I am not a lawyer, but how can approaching a church door from the outside be considered trespassing?

If Barbershop 4 is made.

Reverend to congregation members at church door: “Somebody go out and pick that cotton up.”

Someone in back: “No way. You do it.”
