[Chancellor Jimmy] Cheek cited a court ruling from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals that specifically held that “nonsectarian prayer at public university events does not violate the First Amendment.” And furthermore, Cheek said prayers will also be welcomed at other university events – outside the confines of the football stadium.

Good on 'em. Everyone should treat the "Freedom From Religion Foundation" nutjobs with the same contempt. Stop caving in. Ignore their letters, whiz on their lawsuits.

Make them call out the National Guard to stop a prayer at a UT football game (/s).

Finally. An educational institution that decides to stand up and say "Heck no" to the secularists.

“When you’re not religious or are of another faith and you get prayed at during events, it’s really very grating.”

Um, pardon me Annie...what the heck is that supposed to mean? "Get prayed at"????? Is that some sort of new hate crime? And here I thought that prayers were directed towards the Almighty.

From the article: “When you’re not religious or are of another faith and you get prayed at during events, it’s really very grating.”

What about when you’re not a left-wing, anti-American, commie POS and you continually get commied on by your commie professors?

As a Christian mizzz Galor I’m offended that my tax dollars are subsidizing abortions against my beliefs. At least prayers at sporting events don’t cost anyone a dime.

Godless leftists have plenty of time in eternity for no prayers.... Yikes..

Banning prayers is anti-Religion, and thus illegal in a Nation that was founded on Freedom of Religion. DUH!

BTW, Liberal Agenda Media, which part of the word “Freedom” do you not understand?

...so what happened to the leftist/communist ‘anti-bullying’ movement in this country? “Freedom From Religion Foundation” certainly fills the bill when it comes to ‘bullying’...stinking hypocrites.

What??? Freedom of choice at one university in the USA???

No one is pointing a gun at anyone making them pray. You can think about elephants during the prayer or file your nails. But those wishing to join in the prayer, may choose to do so. That is America. If that is too, too, stressful for the pathetic atheist, what are they doing at a football game anyway?

GO VOLS!

I’d like to also point out that the University of Tennessee has an excellent track record on behalf of free speech on campus. The liberals have denigrated the second amendment for years, and now they hold the first amendment in the same regard (if the speech in question isn’t liberal mush). That’s not acceptable at UT; I pray it stays that way.

Hell yeah!

Let the commies bring people with guns to stop the prayers. That will make some good PR.

It might also wake up the sleepwalking Christians out there.

I have an atheist friend who meets up with fellow atheists. He likes this kind of atheist activism. Guess what, he’s a big Obama supporter and believes in jacking up the gasoline price to $7/gallon (via taxes) to promote electric cars and force people to sell their SUVs

Forgive me if this post constitutes hijacking of your thread...

Your post brought to mind the scene from Sound of Music...at the concert when Capt Von Tropp starts singing Edelweiss (which I think is the Austrian National Anthem?)...his throat catches and Maria (Julie Andrews) picks up the song, along with the children. Then, the audience starts singing it.

The scene is interesting for the expressions of the Nazi’s sitting in the audience who can’t stomach this show of patriotism.

I’m actually getting to my point and hope someone can help me...

When Obummer was elected, that scene was the 1st thing I thot of. I searched and found a clip of that scene and sent it around to my friends.

I have also sent that clip to lefties, just to annoy them.

When I saw your thread and remembered that scene, I wanted to see it (and hear this beautiful song) again, but for the life of me I cannot now find it.

Every other song from Sound of Music can be found with the “full movie scene,” except for this one.

Call me paranoid, but I think that is very very strange.

If anyone can find that clip, I would appreciate it so much and may God save America and may God bless the Univ of TN.
