Religious freedom is a foundational principle for the USA. Constitutional interpretation of that right of freedom of expression is monumental. Tebow was condemned for yrs for praying on the field, lost QB opps for that reason. Christian religious persecution is rampant & . SCOTUS defended. Awesome!

Harry D

Your point about Christian prosecution by the left and their minions is absolutely true. It needs to be called out and defended against at every opportunity. The silent majority can be silent no longer. Good people have been silent and done nothing for far too long. We need to fight back now.

Adam

I'm glad this man stood up and won his case. He wasn't demanding or even asking his students/players to join him. He wasn't pushing his religious beliefs down anyone's throats.

Max DeYoung

If they allow this, they will soon allow Drag Queen Story Time for K through grade 3. There used to be be 26 letters in the alphabet, now there are 62 genders in the alphabet. That is just another religion.

Kevin Blount

As long as players and staff are not expected to take part if they don't want to. Religious freedom works both ways. If anyone is forced to 'pray' there's a problem.

Debra Riffle

Prayer should not be coerced. If one or more people want to join someone in praying, that's their right.

Lisa Gore

No one said coerced, just being allowed, so I am sure you’re allowed not to if you choose.

Mark W Robertson

This is a constitution defended right. He is not establishing a religion for the school nor forcing participation. That is simply the free exercise guaranteed by the constitution. It's insane that this wasn't a unanimous decision! Free exercise is being trampled on, crazy it went this far!

Harry D

Silent prayer at school is different than the government establishing religion. Libs sure are losing in court a lot these days: RvW, NY gun laws, NY City vote for illegal aliens, and now prayer in school. Trump packing the courts with conservative judges will bear fruit for decades to come. FJB

I can't wait to start my satanic worship group at the next school sponsored sporting event. Prayer ain't just for Christians you know? While we're at it, let's give space to our Muslim brothers and sisters for their prayer. This is great!

In a public school, there are various religious groups in one building. If there was a teacher or coach praying in front of their student there is a major possibility that that teacher or coach will shove their religious beliefs down another students throat. It’s fine to pray on their own time.

Gas prices are too high to drive to a community that actually participates in the tax holiday. Bidenflation is really hurting teachers who often buy supplies for their classrooms.

Max DeYoung

Harry D, Biden is your friend, he has lowered gas prices 60 cents and he has also sent our Strategic Oil Reserves to China, to suck up to his friend Xi. Then Xi will buy more of Hunter's Art.

The only place children experience true violence is in government institutionalized learning facilities. Homeschool your children and remove government from their lives.

Adam

Has nothing to do with topic.

Jack L

"Zaos", your posts sure have changed recently. You now sound like someone else who used to post on here.

No school aged kids now. No need to go shopping

He should pay dearly, and all of the left wingnuts should also pay dearly. There is no place in America for hate from either extreme. That includes the lying media like CNN which appears to be soon purchased by China.

Adam

That includes fox comedy hour too

Jack L

Comparing Alex Jones to CNN is a stretch that no rubber band could equal

Adam

It's awesome that this right wing conspiracy theorist that spews lies regularly got busted in court TWICE with lying under oath.

Jack L

This guy has been spreading false information about the shootings for years. I hope the families of the victims receive justice at last.

A punitive phase of the trial that could award more damages will take place at a later date.
