School: Praying for a Colleague is Unacceptable
It sounds like the Augusta School Department might need a word of prayer.

A school worker in Augusta, Maine was ordered to stop using religious phrases like “I will pray for you” and “You were in my prayers” because such language is not allowed inside a public school building — even in private conversations with coworkers.

The Augusta School Department launched an investigation of Toni Richardson after they alleged she “imposed some strong religious/spiritual belief system” towards a coworker.

Now, imposing your religion on someone is a serious allegation. Was Ms. Richardson forcing her coworker to convert to Christianity? Did she attempt to baptize him against his will?

It turned out to be nothing of the sort.

I am so happy to have moved out of the city/suburbs.  Our public school, 5A ~1,900 Students, is great.  Last night the Future Farmers of America (FFA) had their awards banquet and announcement of next years officers.

There are 9 officers.  Chaplain is one of the officer titles with the official duty of leading the group in prayer.

Maine is a socialist state so this does not surprize me at all.
