No student is forced to participate in a post game prayer. This decision affirms the right for a coach to pray publicly following a game (or before a game).

This does not violate the separation of church and state.

Read the case. Students felt pressured to participate in the coach’s prayers because they thought if they didn’t then they would be disfavored and not get playing time.

That was the assertion made by the school system

But that would have to mean state funded Muslim schools, Jewish schools, etc.

Disgusting.

Religious zealots terrorizing our kids.

They're grooming our children with their prayer to a fake man upstairs

Did you ever play HS sports? When the coach asks the team to participate in a public team prayer, there is a lot of pressure for everyone to participate. The ones who don’t want to do it bow their heads and are silent or mumble. If you are going to object to the prayer you may as well quit the team because you will be treated as a problem.

A few players went to Coach Kennedy to express that they were uncomfortable joining the prayer.
Do you know what he did?
He made them co-captains because he admired their willingness to speak out to him and to express their opinions. He viewed them as leaders.

If a player feels as if he/she has been pressured..... they can take that case to court.

Still coercive. In essence, his public prayer forces high school kids to declare and defend their religious beliefs in order to play a sport.

That is just not true. There was no coercion. Nobody has to defend their religious beliefs, or lack of them, in order to play a sport.

The hysteria here is ridiculous. The only thing wrong with this ruling is that 3 Justices dissented.

We may as well be under Taliban rule, but in the name of Evangelical Christianity.

These guys need to be removed for lying to congress and Thomas for being an insurrectionist.

The coach is in a position of power and authority over the players. He gave students who did not join in non-preferential treatment.

Also, what a terrible, non-inclusive team culture. The way you celebrate a victory is with a Christian prayer? What is you are Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Atheist you don’t get to celebrate and bond with your team ?

Okay cool cool. I want your boss to just casually mention all of the things that he enjoys an employees And the things he promotes people for him. Just talking about them over and over and over again and one of those things being lunch together in the conference room. No you're right. You don't have to go but you know damn good. Well if you don't you're not moving up. you don't have to do them but if you are looking to get promoted and get ahead you sure as hell are going to try.

We’re all adults here. We have too much life experience to let you gaslight us about this. Anyone with a college education has at one point encountered a teacher who plays favorites or else you’re lying.
