Christian revival at U.S. school prompts student walkout

HUNTINGTON, W.VA. -- Between calculus and European history classes at a West Virginia public high school, 16-year-old Cameron Mays and his classmates were told by their teacher to go to an evangelical Christian revival assembly.

Flowers said the event was voluntary, organized by the school's chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He said there was supposed to be a signup sheet for students, but two teachers mistakenly brought their entire class.But in this community of fewer than 50,000 people in southwestern West Virginia, the controversy has ignited a broader conversation about whether religious services -- voluntary or not -- should be allowed during school hours at all.

During the assemblies, students and their families are encouraged to join evening services at the nearby Christ Temple Church. More than 450 people, including 200 students, have been baptized at the church, according to Walker, who said he was scheduled to go to another public school and nearby Marshall University soon.

Walker said he has never contacted a school about coming to speak; it's always the students who reach out to his ministry, he said.

Separation of church and state

Only in the fantasy land of hardened religious nuts, is it possible to get kids to like Christianity by forcing them to attend a Christian revival. Just the opposite, in fact. Couldn't think of a better way to get kids to loathe Christianity....

Same rights for everybody. The church of SATAN cannot wait to teach their believes during school hours. Or get an Iman in to teach the Quran.
