The Legality of a Church Advertising on Public School Grounds.?

by Seth Tisue

Question by jack m: The legality of a church advertising on public school grounds.?
Hi, I live in a Dallas suburb where there is a large Christian population and Friday night football is the thing to do. My high school allows a group called Young Life to put ads up around the school and have their youth ministers come into the school during lunches to talk to students for “counseling”. There is no other religion represented. Also, around the parking lot, they put up signs inviting people to the “Student Center” for parties after the games which is like a free starbucks coffee shop run by a Baptist church. There is nothing on these signs to indicate this is a church sponsored event. What is the legality of this activity? I know this isn’t the best outlet, but they are inside our school, inviting kids to their church, and are brought in for “counseling” by the school administration.

Answer by The ghost of Reason
Seperation of church and state was intended to protect churches from the state not the other way around. The state has all the power they don’t need protection.
