What people are saying:

• Facebook User: … when did they make any progress with this? I haven’t heard anything about this going through our district.
  • Secular Education Association: Facebook User you likely wouldn’t have. They are mandated to comply now that Lifewise pushed to pass legislation to make them do so.
  • Facebook User: Secular Education Association ugh. I’m grateful that I’ve already spoken to my kids about the program and how to handle if their friends elect to participate. Why doesn’t Lifewise just create their own schools at this point? Free religious education instead of the absurdly expensive religious institutions that are currently available. Wouldn’t that meet their “mission” better?
  • Secular Education Association: Facebook User well their current mission is to destroy public education and take its place entirely. So it really serves them to divide, put further strain on and generally threaten our local schools.
  • Facebook User: Secular Education Association given the state of public funding for education it seems like branching off into their own schools would certainly do just that. Honestly, it just feels like a matter of time.
• Facebook User: “partner with you” is such twist of the actuality of the situation. Words matter, I hope the school steps in and tells them this language does not work.
• Facebook User: Unbelievable
• Facebook User:
• Facebook User: They have no business in or at a public school.
• Facebook User: If I were a teacher there, and received that, I’d throw it right back in their face. 
• Facebook User: I would have thrown it on their steps and used the pen to write on the note that they can’t bribe me and should stop trying to bribe the kids
• Facebook User: This is clearly a transparent attempt at subtly blackmailing our teachers for support. I would hope and strongly believe that our teachers are smarter than this.
• Facebook User: We have churches who provide lunch and snacks for our staff but not one of them invited us or students to their church.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User – it’s called grooming. You’re not supposed to feel like they are recruiting. They are not just being kind. They absolutely have an agenda. I see their methods are working perfectly.
  • Facebook User: Facebook User I tell people all the time ive grown up in the church and had visited so many, THEY NEVER do ANYTHING without them having the possibility to convert. They want a return on their investment. The people actually doing the volunteering sometimes really are doing it to be good, but every event, every little thing is expected to bring someone in. If not they’d go broke
  • Facebook User: Facebook User – Exactly 💯!
• Facebook User: These are my favorite pens and as a public school teacher, I’d throw it straight in the trash, right in front of them.
• Facebook User: I would love it if teachers just threw these right in the trash, preferably when a Lifewise rep is watching.
