  Case: Christian after-school kids club
As an elementary teacher who believes that it is important for students to get involved in non-school activities, you are often asked to pass out information promoting Girl Scouts, Little League, and other children activities. You always oblige. Recently you have been asked to distribute materials promoting a Christian after-school kids club that will meet at a neighborhood evangelical church. How should you respond and why?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As long as you are not adding extra incentive or providing extra credit for going to one club over another, you should pass it out. Students and their parents have just as much as a right to know about this club and they and their parents can choose to go or not. It would be unfair to withhold this from them, as much as it would be to withhold information about any other religious club if you have also passed out information about Girl Scouts and Little League.

Comments: Your school probably has a policy already in place. You're supposed to either hand out nothing religious or everything religious. I think you should hand them out. It could be a learning experience for kids, and handing out other religious materials as well will broaden their horizons
