Jeez, why do you think? Overton's lackey was reaching out to young teen to do drugs with.

Can you prove that? Bet he doesn’t get convicted of it.

It was on a text message like a real moron. Open and shut case.

What’d the text say?

Yes sometimes principals or office staff cover up the state required In God We Trust posters. But by law they must be on display in some form or fashion.

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) recognizes 11 no-work days to accommodate religious holidays that fall outside of federal holidays. Additionally, several federal agencies, including the military, employ chaplains. So, what is the issue with allowing a volunteer chaplain to support a football team? Could you provide the rationale behind this opposition?

The Black community often represents the more conservative wing of the Democratic Party. It's possible that those raising concerns are aligned with more liberal religious groups, such as the Unitarian Universalists (UUs). I'm trying to understand why Hayfield High School's football team is facing criticism over the chaplain issue. Is it rooted in a broader effort to reduce the involvement of the Black Church and the influence it has on predominantly Black communities, while a more liberal, predominantly white group—such as the one currently leading the local Fairfax NAACP—drives the narrative?

If clubs like the Satanic Temple are permitted to have a presence in high school clubs, why would a chaplain be restricted from participating in football team activities? Especially when the chaplain is not promoting an ecumenical approach, as UUs do to practice and spread their faith.

Many public high schools all across the country still have pre-graduation Baccalaureate services at local churches or other houses of worship with a minister or chaplain.

Regarding football, literally anyone can stand on the sidelines if coach allows it. Many alumni, news people, random teachers and mentors, photographers, videographers, pastors, and advisors of all sorts do. Not just the coaching staff and players. The DMV just happens to be a bit less religious than many areas in the country and in other regions of the southeast. So a pastor on the sidelines like at Hayfield may seem unusual.

That's not a thing here, in FCPS. At all. We keep proselytizing out of our public schools.

Do you not see how this puts players who DON'T subscribe to that "chaplain's" particular narrow view of the universe in a terrible position? Fake praying to go along? Speak up and anger the coach and be benched? Why are you OK with putting vulnerable children in this position during a public school event?

There is no place for religious preaching at PUBLIC SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. Full stop.

Does any other FCPS HS activity have religious "chaplains" lurking around trying to preach to the students? I have never seen it. Does any other FCPS HS football team have a "chaplain"? I have never seen one.

Why is everything about race to the Overton fanboys?

My son plays FCPS HS basketball. All Black coaches, mostly Black players. In 4 years, not once has his coach invited some random religious kook to sit on the bench with the team, pray before games, do Jesus talk at practice. etc. If it had happened, most of the parents would have been completely shocked and appalled. It is so wildly inappropriate that I can't believe anyone is even defending it.

This particular individual has shown such poor judgment in her social media posts that I can't believe anyone approves of her giving morality advice to minors. Serious yikes.

I'm surprised to hear anyone from the random public is free to walk down and mill about the sidelines with the players. No one does that in any other HS sport. Seems odd.

Coach has to approve. There is usually an assistant athletic director or assistant principal there to make sure the student hypesquad doesn’t leave its zone and enter the sidelines.

You sure about that? This lady runs her own personal strange little church ("The Embassy Church" in Fredericksburg) and refers to herself as "Apostle Karen" and describes herself as an "international, apostolic-prophetic general". Not really getting a non-denominational vibe and she isn't even part of the Fairfax Hayfield community, her "church" is an hour away.

She actually edited the most offensive instagram rant. Someone must have tipped her off.

Neither are most of the Hayfield starting players & their families, their coaches, their simps, or any of their strange entourage.

Maybe it was just all a big misunderstanding, and they shook hands or whatever. Even pastors make mistakes. . . Do any other Northern Region schools have pastors? Just curious.

Or what about further south. Not sure if any Stafford, Henrico, or Spotsylvania people are on this forum.
