Ruling last week in favor of a football coach who insisted on praying on the field, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out 60 years of legal precedent, leaving the nation's schools in the untenable position of having little recourse to protect students from religious coercion on campus.

Kids are under enormous Woke pressure.
They need a little bit religion to balance it!
Dems are going Ape-SHT over Prayer. Along with going Nutso over Abortion they are evermore headed toward an Election Disaster in Novemeber.
It should be pretty clear by now who it is the left serves.
Now the rest of us need to pick a side.
“Religious coercion on campus” is bad, but homosexual/transgender coercion is good.
Got it.
The Dems go Ape-SHT over EVERYTHING when they’re told NO
Take your books and go back in your closet. Evil.
‘Ruling last week in favor of a football coach who insisted on praying on the field...’
has anyone yet explained why this football coach found it necessary to go out to midield to offer his prayers...? isn’t that basically saying ‘hey, look at me...I could pray silently on the sidelines, but then no one would see me...’
“Ruling last week in favor of a football coach who insisted on praying on the field, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out 60 years of legal precedent...”
Sixty years of legal precedent????
Well sixty years ago the Supreme Court thought nothing of throwing out centuries of legal precedent.
And a government school is just the right entity to supply it? Think again, clearly this time!
Boys can be girls, but heaven forbid they pray.
Can we start culling the morons now?
Freedom of Religion is not the same as freedom of worship. Freedom of Religion is our God-given and Constitutional protected right. You would have us worship somewhere you can't see us, right?
I’d guess he wants to publicly profess his personal faith.
I assume it was a silent offer to join in if so desired, which many players (from both teams) often accepted.
How do you coerce someone to pray? If states don’t want this behavior, let them say so in local state law.
Satan hates the worship of the Lord.
Entirely predictable that the “liberal” progressive leftists would be as adamant in their distaste for this ruling. They really do not believe in a Higher Power, as they are the absolute highest beings in the Universe, having spontaneously arisen and evolved from the slime.
Just the smartest people in the room, they are.
How would that be a good role model?
The way the left would like to interpret religious rights is to suggest that everyone can believe in religion, but you can’t ever mention it. Everyone can work for the government but if you are religious and say it, you can be fired.
This way of thinking is wrong in at least two points. One is that people in government are allowed to be citizens and therefore they may come with religious convictions. And if so they have a right to them.
And second, atheism is a religion. The left would have you believe that the government needs to be atheistic because that is not religious. But in reality they are just promoting their religion over other peoples.
A man has a right to pray if he is a student or a president or a coach. It seems that all these people have a right not to pray. But the left does not see the right to pray as being equal to the right not too.
