If you replace Christian prayer with satanic chant, would everyone else still be for what this coach did?

If he did this in his car after the game or in his front yard or at Denny's no one would care. It's the fact that he was the football coach doing it at his place of work which is paid for by the taxpayers. He did so immediately following the game. He didn't go home and then come back to pray alone on the field afterwards. He knew exactly what he was doing and for those of you who say that the students joined voluntarily, you don't understand competitive sports very well. If your coach starts doing something and you're standing right there, you best. Join if you want to keep in good graces.

A public school football game is a government event controlled and led by government employees.

This.

If the coach wanted to go to the field at a non-game time when it was not otherwise being used and pray by himself or with a small group, I doubt that anyone would have a problem with that. The problem comes when he does so while performing his official duties as a government employee.

This was really a shocking decision--more so than the abortion one, really.

Now, we are going to have Satan worshippers demanding to practice their religion in schools, which I suspect that many of the people who supported this decision would oppose.

I’m one of them. This is the right decision for the SC to make. I also don’t want Muslim prayer rooms taken out of public schools.

This has nothing to do with prayer rooms. Prayer rooms merely provide the opportunity for people to exercise their religion in PRIVATE. How do you feel about a teacher rolling out a mat in class and praying?

I actually have no problem with it. If he/she is demanding kids also do the same and we have hard evidence that if they don’t their grades are consistently marked lower, THAT behavior would have to be corrected. But I STILL would not take away the Muslim teacher’s right to pray.

Cool. My sister is a drama teacher. She’ll be reciting some Satanic Verses and Wicca prayers during class and drama club. Maybe she’ll throw in a prayer or two about CRT.

Well do not expect the supreme court to protect her free speech.

The Supreme Court just gave her the right to say whatever she wants, in the form of a prayer, to a captive audience. All’s fair game when it comes to individual beliefs.

No they did not rule that at all. The case was on an open field after the game. The football players exercised their CHOICE to stay. They were not a captive audience.

It’s not an open field. It is a public school football field where two public school teams of public school students are under control of their public school coaches who are government employees forcing the players to be present for a public religious observance. This is the government, in this case the school board, violating their students freedom of religion and favoring the religious beliefs of the coach. No one is there as a private person. A public school football game is a government event controlled and led by government employees.

How can you have separation of Church and state when Democrats themselves also vote for Democratic candidates that practice religion? Maybe that's why there is such a weak response against religion infiltrating govt? Anyone, GOP or Dem, who practices religion will have an internal conflict of interest. It's like voting for a Dem candidate who is a card carrying member of the NRA while the country desperately needs sensible gun control laws, yet when people vote for Dems who practice religion they are shocked later on and wondering why secularism is in trouble.

SMH.

Why is it extreme? Have you considered that some of of us think Christian prayer in a sports venue at a public high school is extreme?

You actually do NOT need a Muslim cleric to lead Muslims in prayer! Just a Muslim who wants to pray, and if any other Muslims want to join, then it's a communal prayer. For any of the 5 daily prayers, every day. Plus, afterwards or separately, you can make "du'a" to Allah -- which is the exact type of prayer this Coach liked to do on the 50 -- to ask Him for mercy, forgiveness, to remember you and create ease for you in your tough moments, and to express gratitude to Him! Sounds just about right for a public school near you...

(I'm Muslim, live in the Midwest, a lawyer, and disagree strongly with this ruling. The Sharia Court of the United States is horrible.)

Republicans lie. This is not shocking. Ignore the decision. Fire the coach, run him out of town, and let the Supreme Court send the Marshalls out to try to enforce any judgment.

Read the Sotomayor dissent, where the actual facts of the case (and access to proof by photographic evidence) are laid to bare.

When our SCOTUS makes decisions based on lies, it is illegitimate.

They lied in their on confirmation hearings, repeatedly, it’s on tape. Anyone believing anything coming out of the illegitimate court is a fool.

Yes her photograph evidence shows zero lies. Please explain how the opposing coach has any influence over the other team? You people are truly delusional. The one coach coerced opposing players to join him? Not even possible.
