How evangelicals are making children their missionaries in public schools / Evangelikalen, der Einfluss von fundamentalistischen Christen [Arte]

[Guardian] Adults can't proselytise in schools – but kids can. Hence a new scam by fundamentalists to circumvent church-state separation

As ESES's name implies, their idea is to proselytize every student in every public school in America through an aggressive "Adopt-a-School" campaign. And the way to do it is to have the kids do what grownups are not allowed to do – establish full-fledged missionary operations inside the schools. A clever map allows viewers to click on their state and type in their area code, revealing every school in the district and determine whether it has been "adopted" by churches or other religious organizations. Kids from those entities are instructed to conduct daily prayer groups during the school day, distribute religious literature and are given numerous other ideas for practicing or promoting their religion at school.
