This question honestly shocks me. I'd expect an adult professional to know better. I would find any mention of any religion highly offensive. I would go monkey poop if you even hinted at it and I'd complain to anyone who would listen, and I'd keep complaining up the ladder until someone did listen. It is completely inappropriate. I would hope one would be disciplined and possibly fired depending upon what was said. There is no place for that sort of thing in secular schools of higher learning. None.
Great idea! Lets get rid of the jerks that need to talk about; their kids, shopping, make up, latte, hair styles etc...I Mean, why should anyone have to tolerate any of this? Better yet, if someone speaks let's just kill them! Remember the Coliseum??

Remember the Coliseum??[/quote']Well, if my instructor spent a disproportionate amount of time of the class discussing any of the above, I would have an issue with it. Or if s/he insinuated or hinted that her store/child rearing methods/latte/hair style were so superior to mine and that changing to her way, would make me a superior nurse and human being, I would have an issue.As a Jew, I often find that I am more knowledgeable about Christianity than a great number of devout Christians. We have it in our faces, in this country, from birth and until the day we die. We are often denied acceptance of our holidays, rituals and marginalized. If someone even has the temerity to use, "Happy Holidays"!, instead of "Merry Christmas", having the grace to include all holidays instead of one, there is hysterical meltdown that makes national news, about a war on Christmas. And in my Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, groups dress in Jewish clothing and invoke traditional beliefs to children on the way to school, trying to lure them to Christianity.I assure we are well aware of Christianity. We do not need instructors hinting about it.( and quite frankly, I would be thrilled if I could get through at least one work lunch a month without hearing about every burp, fart, spitup, bowel movement/toilet training of every baby of my coworkers. I know more about my perpetually pregnant coworkers and their hemorrhoids, constipation, farting, bladder habits, and sexual position issues than anyone really should know).

This response does not make sense to me. How does ordinary every day conversation among peers have any correlation with leaders in positions of power using paid for class time to proselytize?

Yes, because the world was such a better place when religion and the church were intertwined with government and education.
Well give me an example of a school shooting BEFORE prayer was taken out of public school? Btw every relogion I know of has a "GOD" being an entity that they worship.. some have more than one but "god" nonetheless. Ijs.

ADMIN REQUEST
Much of this latest discussion has strayed from the topic of the thread which is an instructor wanting to know about dropping hints about having faith. She did not ask to discuss guns, shootings, sexual preferences, politics, kids, make-up, etc. Please stick to the topic.
If you would like to discuss these topics, you may start another thread.
Further off-topic posts will be deleted.
