My middle school let the Gideons position themselves between us and the school buses one time so they could hand out New Testaments. I have no idea how that was legal or allowed. This was a solidly blue area of a solidly blue state too.

My suburban midwest GOP-run area school was surprisingly normal about it all. There was maybe one instance of us being forced to go to a motivational speaker group, which stayed seculare until like minute 50 of a one hour presentation where suddenly they were like "and all that's cause of OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIIIIIIIST!!!" They were a bunch of dudes who did feats of strength like plowing through two dozen pre-scored bricks after having some high schooler smash at the normal bricks to no avail. You could see the scoring lines from like the 15th row of the auditorium.

Also for like a decade after they'd stopped having prayer at graduation, they had prayer services for the honors student recognition banquet, but then we dumb honors students just cited a bunch of case law and sent it to the principal, who was like "you're right!" and didn't even begin to fight it. It made the evangelical VP break down and cry though when she invited people to do something like "contemplate or pray as your beliefs allow" before the dinner, and most people just kept talking.

Our motivational speaker was a dude who was previously in the mob or something that basically yelled at us for an hour to get our degrees and not to gently caress around with drugs, crime or women.


Also he got derailed for like 10 minutes talking about how some kid understood what respect really meant because the kid walked in late and said excuse me to the guy as he took his seat.

Goddamn that is funny.

I did martial arts stuff for 3 or 4 years in high school and a little in college and for tests, etc., it was all pretty standardized. But often at tournaments, they'd have these big demonstrations to amp up whatever school it was before they started the tournaments. My favorite were the guys who'd put out a shitload of bricks, then light them on fire, then wander around and try to amp up the tension, then maybe some more fire, and so on until the bricks were just loving wrecked before attempting the break.

Well, and the guy who said he could control bleeding through the power of his mind while having weights hung from his arms. If you stab the right part with a skewer, there's basically zero blood while the skewer is in, and almost none once it's out. His assistant must have hit something bad, cause he was bleeding like a stuck pig and clearly in agony. I'm glad my studio was pretty much just about discipline, working out, learning forms, and fighting, as opposed to the big flashy bullshit.

i liked the real tough bodybuilders who would come to school with an anti drinking/drug campaign and they would bend metal bars and blow up balloons that "if that air shoots back into his lungs, his lungs will explode!" and one guy would tell a story about how someone he knew went out drinking and got hammered (or did some meth or some poo poo) and drove home. and when we woke up the next morning and went outside there was a child's head stuck in the grill of his car.

There were three people here in campus center on Tuesday town-crying about how Jesus saves and we're all sinners and autism is causes by masturbation etc. Like it varied from annoying to insulting. I don't know how they were allowed to do that.

Some enterprising student got a fat sharpie and a cardboard sheet and wrote "HAIL SATAN, LIVE FREE" and stood up next to them and started trying to out yell them. Drew quite a crowd.

The best one from my school was the dude in his early 20s who gave an impassioned speech that put everyone on the verge of tears about how his brother's drinking and....pornography lead him down the path that resulted in his death by traffic accident. Only afterward was everyone like "that was weird as gently caress" or at least I was.

Also we had some dude who got a silver star for like jumping on a grenade and covering it with his helmet or something. He told an entire auditorium of middle and high schoolers about having to double tap wounded drugged up Iraqi insurgents. I wish I could remember his name, I'm pretty sure he had written a book about his experiences. It sounds like something I loving dreamed up in retrospect but I'm 95% sure I'm remembering it correctly.

A guy in my grade, who I knew a little bit, fell asleep at the wheel and got in a terrible wreck that almost killed him. He was pulled from a burning vehicle and afterward, supposedly, they couldn't figure out how anyone opened his door. Ergo, Jesus. After a couple questions from the student body about how this changed his life (jesus), someone was like "what about all the people that die" and then it was classic "we're out of time, back to class" mode.
