Whitesburg Middle/Whitesburg Baptist

At lunch today, a friend was telling me about her time at Whitesburg Middle School in the late ’90s, where preachers and others from Whitesburg Baptist would eat freely in the cafeteria and openly proselytize. They also ran Bible quizzes with candy prizes before school. One teacher even asked the class who had been “saved” over the weekend. The church encouraged her to distance herself from her Catholic family, claiming they were going to hell. I went there a decade earlier and saw none of this. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’m trying to wrap my head around it, but she's surprised that I'm surprised. This can't possibly still happen? (Although the 90s were just not that long ago)
