Well the story I get so far is that the server was bought with donations, and there are many people both volunteer and school employees that maintain the server. This includes doing work for the churches. The guy said any religious organization (he kept calling it community organization, but I tried to remind him there was a difference) could host there, and those were the only ones that wanted to.
I asked him who paid for the bandwidth and he wouldn't answer me. I asked who paid his salary and he said he was an employee of the district, but that he did it on his own time. I think I may have caused something of a stir. I started at the superintendents office, and ended up with the IT guy. I was on hold for quite a while. I guess I should write the administration there something just asking if they know about it, and if they think it's appropriate, will have to do that from my home email though :) Anyway I am outie for the weekend. Have a good one all. See you Monday. BTW Mike is there any way to list more than one email address? I would like to get [EMAIL PROTECTED] added to receive all this so I can get it at home as well if possible, but can't seem to find a way to do it through the site. Anyway have fun kids.

I really doubt that this is any sort of organized conspiracy. My gut says that somebody in a position of control over that server is christian and considers this to be "good for the community". They may very well accept sites from other religious groups (if they don't that's a problem, if they do but none take advantage then it's less of a problem). But I almost gauruntee that you'll find this extends back a single person... In the end however if you feel strongly about it, pursue it.
