Can someone please enlighten me as to why the Kent School District is allowing a particular religious group, or any religious group, to hold their service in a publicly funded facility, namely \u201cKentridge High School,\u201d for the church\u2019s own gain and expansion?<\/p>\n

Seems to me they\u2019re using taxpayer dollars to put a roof over their heads for their cause, granted by someone in the school administration.<\/p>\n

Is the administration opening their doors to other religious affiliations? Who pays for the extra janitorial service, or electrical power needed for the hours of service on Sunday? I don\u2019t think that comes cheap!<\/p>\n

Do we see any religious symbol or affiliation posted or affixed to the public school buildings? That would be \u201cNO\u201d.<\/p>\n

Is there someone in the newspaper readership who can explain in more detail my concerns with any religious group or church utilizing a publicly funded educational facility for their own gain or expansion basically at tax payer expense?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
