Reply to comment by Frelling_Dren in Does anyone know what Chesterfield County School Board's "Faith Leader Meetings" are about? I asked for info and got stonewalling hard. by HRPuffnGiger
Second thought: So, why does the school board meet with religious leaders at all? What's discussed?
Like, what right does a priest or rabbi have to have any information about my kids schooling that I don't have already, yknow? Why are they even involved?

To answer your second question, zero right based on their profession. All the right based on FOIA. Justice and the law are two separate things.
To answer your last question, because ccps gonna ccps.
To answer your first question, I never attended one of these. Not that I was ever invited, but I made no secret of my feelings about religion having any sway at all over the public education of children. I have beyond zero patience for anyone that thinks their beliefs should apply to everyone unilaterally.
From what I gathered, it’s basically a coffee and danish “hey how are ya” type event with an update on the general goings-on with ccps and an ask of support from the religious community.
Again, it’s truly an innocuous event, but from optics and equity standpoints, it’s next-level bonkers that it’s a thing at all.
