[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much passion about saying a prayer.  Mostly from folks with zero skin in the game.  Out with prayer because the kids have so many other things now to influence them - so many things to desensitize their reactions to violence and hate.  Much better way to go.[/quote]

I’m Jewish and, if my kid was on that team, I wouldn’t want them feeling pressured to participate in a Christian prayer.

Try to get it. [/quote]

Your kid wasn’t on that team so you are not affected in anyway shape or form! [/quote]

You’re a moron. The Supreme Court just made this everybody’s business by saying any coach or teacher teacher at any public school can push their religion on kids under their supervision as long as they tell kids that they have authority over that it is it is voluntary. It is a license to manipulate kids and abuse public positions of authority and plenty of a-holes will use that license. [/quote]

Actually, no.  That is not the ruling.

They ruled that the coach is able to exercise HIS free speech and HIS religious beliefs.  If the kids want to participate, that is up to them. 
You people are trying to make this into something it isn't...... as most of the issues that you disagree with.  [/quote]

He can pray independently and/or in private, nobody is stopping him from praying. If he wants to preach to a group he can become a pastor and do that in church.

As a person in a position of authority, he does not get to use that platform, funded by taxpayers, to promote his religion. How would you like it if your child’s teacher started each class by rolling out a mat and praying to Allah?

Why are you lying about what he is doing?  He is not preaching to anyone.  He is praying.

And, once again for those who are outraged and uninformed..... the few students who expressed discomfort with joining in the prayer...... this coach made them co-captains for their willingness to speak up.
