SB4 and ‘Godless’ statement: Public schools and teachers deserve better

Our two congregations have been partners for forty-five years. We’ve shared joint worship services, joint vacation Bible schools, and joint mission projects, prayed together, eaten together, attended funerals together, and learned to just be together. Many of our members have become friends and no small part of our members’ friendship has been because so many of them are now or have been part of our local public schools as teachers, administrators, staff, and occasionally school board members. Additionally, we’ve been in PTA/PTO together, done school fundraisers, and supported school events, not to mention our own children who have been or are now students in the schools.
