West Virginia Public High School Students Forced to Attend Evangelical Sermon Between Classes

Students at a West Virginia high school are planning a protest after they say they were made to attend an evangelical sermon in the middle of the school day. The event was held in Huntington High School’s auditorium last week during a “noninstructional” gap between classes when students are usually encouraged to get work done or study, the AP reports.

One of the students brought to the assembly by a teacher was Jewish, and he was reportedly told he could not leave when he made his discomfort known to a teacher. A spokesperson for Cabell County Schools, Jedd Flowers, told the AP the event was meant to be voluntary, with students able to take part by signing up for the sermon, but two teachers misunderstood and brought their entire classes. “It’s unfortunate that it happened.

Huntington High School, a W. VA public school, FORCED students to attend a CHRISTIAN EVANGELICAL REVIVAL ASSEMBLY They were told 'raise your arms in prayer with eyes closed, give your lives over to Jesus, all not following the Bible WILL GO TO HELL'

Yeah, whoever put that together should be fired.

So wrong

The GOP is telling schools not to teach anything that will make students feel shame or guilt over the mistreatment of minorities. And here they are telling students they are shameful scum who deserve eternal torture if they don't convert.
