Indeed, it was.....

Crikey, Gene, I wouldn't even drive on the public road in front of place
with a name like that if I had kids in the car! :)

When I was in public junior high, there was a Catholic church and full
time parochial school down the street and a lot of us non-Catholic kids
would head over there after school to see some of our friends and play
basketball and the usual schoolyard sports, all under the watchful eyes
of the nuns. In the three years I hung out there, I don't recall one
instance where those fine women approached any of us to sell religion.
But they were generous with milk and cookies, and a washcloth and
band-aids if we needed them.

We weren't Catholic but I had a lot of Catholic friends at that school,
a couple of lifelong friends as it has turned out. Never any attempts to
sell religion or religious stupidity (your dinosaur anecdote).


I have a feeling things are "different" at an Independent Fundamental
Baptist "Academy." :)
