I'd really like to understand how a person could come to that conclusion, and I can't ask the person in question.
Does this person say it's anything specific?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Can anyone explain this to me?
Um, some Christians are being told over and over that they are?
She cited a specific example with a friend of one of her kids who was undoubtedly being an ass (and misusing of the word "Evangelical").
More broadly, she was talking about needing to create an environment where kids feel safe to be Christan (at school).
People who think the US should be a Christian theocracy probably feel persecuted because it isn't.
I don't know why ita put mushrooms on those fries.
It's those wars on Christmas that the far right talks about every year. Funny, we still keep having Christmas.
I think that it is a basic lack of understanding of what being persecuted is. I have heard people singing the refrain of "our way of life is being attacked from all sides", when what they really mean but cannot seem to grasp is that "people who disagree with us are now vocal enough and/or a large enough minority that we have to acknowledge them or adjust our lives in ways we don't want to.".
What msbelle said. I hear the "Christians are oppressed" stuff all the time from some of the fundies I know, and it always pretty much comes down to "someone disagreed with me".
Seriously?!? "Every child deserves a mom and a dad"?!?
I mean, I'm glad to have two swell parents, and it's fine that one of them is male and one is female, but for crying out loud.
grr, the board ate a post
I doubt any public school teacher in the US has told her class that Christians are horrible people, or going to hell, or ignorant fools, BUT the same most certainly has been said about other religions or atheists.
ION - My stand on the "Every child deserves a mom and a dad" thing probably does not need to be stated. I Hate Some People!
