Hi teachers and atheists. I'm a life-long atheist (37 F), parent, and soon-to-be licensed teacher (masters, with previous teaching experience). I grew up in a city with a somewhat diverse population. (I didn't realize at the time how diverse it was). For the last few years I've lived in a rural town. It's technically not even a town, it's so small (population is less than 3000). My kids go to school here and it's a constant battle. I'm a member of FFRF and have contacted them several times about the absurd lack of separation between church and state. They pray at graduation, football games, send home Easter invitations to church functions, and post political opinions on their school facebook page (which I unfortunately feel the need to subscribe to because they also post important information that is otherwise hard to get). I have never meshed with the community here and everyone seems to be christian. Unfortunately, I'm stuck to this area because of my partners job. I can move to another school district, (we own a house here) but I don't know how much better things would be. I know I should just move far away. I want to. But I also think that this is MY community too. I shouldn't have to hide or run away. I NEED to stay to make it better. Sadly, there probably is not enough support locally to make that happen. Long story, but here's my question to teachers and others that work directly with public schools. Is it any better where you are? I don't ever remember having such problems when I was growing up in a town of 45,000. Should I try to get away and risk being the only income, or should I try to stick it out here in this rural hell? What kind of problems do you face in the classroom? Is every teacher in the world super fucking religious?!!
