Sounds like my high school. Pastor would come in to talk to his youth group kids at lunch and give a loud sermon complete with pointing at the non-Christian kids and talking about their idolatry and devil worship. He would say things about how his kids should do everything they could to oppose Satan and his agents while gesturing at the one table with certain students eating lunch.

This was a public high school. Not in the south.

Guess which table I was sitting at.

I'd have assumed that changed, given all the school shootings.

When I was in school (early 2k's) kids raised a stink because their pastor wasn't let into the school... but at the time, Columbine had just happened. they were only letting parents in and then, they were escorted by faculty. before Columbine happened, it require one of the students "inviting" the pastor.

Hey cool, we're talking about the same timeframe! Small world.

But yeah you'd think they'd stop letting random unrelated adults roam the halls with the prevalence of school shootings. But religious leaders are very obviously good and trustworthy people who would never hurt or coerce children (/s).
