To this coach, America is not the home of freedom and free expression.
I bet if those two players held up a mock firearm during the prayer or anthem, the coach would be impressed.
It's a PRIVATE high school (not a public one), and the name of the school is Victory and WORSHIP Academy. Given that, I doubt very many parents who are paying that tuition are going to have an issue with the coach requiring their sons to pray.
How do you know when he made it clear? Were you there to make such claims , or do you just make stuff up to fit your needs, as you seem to have done with the claimed SCOTUS ruling you refuse to source? All he had to do was tell them before the game in some way that this behavior was not acceptable.
BTW, your eyerolls are meaningless. You have no idea what you speak of, so the eyerolls make you look even sillier doing it.
Notice that he stopped referencing the SCOTUS decision when he was starkly confronted with the fact that the school in question isn't public and that the SCOTUS decision is re a public school.
They were forced to pray? Those boys are better off far way from this looney-bin.
This is a Catholic school. People send their children to these private schools so that their religion is intertwined with their academics and values are instilled. Prayer is part of their day, how wonderful. I admire the coach for following through and telling them to leave the game. If they lost a family member while in service, would they be so quick to kneel.
Three Catholic high schools in our diocese told their athletes that if they knelt, there would be consequences. We should be hearing more of this.
Hopefully their parents move them to a school that isn't run by unthinking religious whackos.
Who am I kidding though...
This is a coach that has the utmost respect for his country and serviceman. A man to be admired.
