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!

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!

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.

Toby Maguire is the best spider-man because you see him go through the struggles of life but with Tom Holland he just gets everything handed to by tony and the only struggle he goes through is Tony's death.

Amy Young

Gotta love the dude. Hes my modern day superhero.

Inester Dawson

💯 tobey Maguire

Slaughtered 01

Tom's version is ass, but it's not his fault, it's due to bad writing. Not saying the movies were ass, just this version of SM.

Smol-Vampire

he is the first spider man and the legendary one he has been squashed by Topher Grace saying he was a pain to work with But Tobey Loves working with people in acting and Plays Peter Parker and Spidey perfectly

Walter Cargill

Tom Holland is great but I've always preferred Tobey Maguire because he's one of the best ones they actually played Peter Parker Spider-Man especially when it comes to the personality

Kimetsu Smith

looks like Spiderman age in the comics

Ruby Hernandez

Tom Holland did a brilliant job at playing spriderman and I feel like it wouldn’t be the same so I think Tom Holland and I’m also really sorry Tobey and Andrew but you both did a wonderful job but IMO Tom was my personal favorite - Ruby✌🏼

oddboy77

I'm srry but I fell in love with tom Holland as I'm actor and loved the way he accurately portrayed spiderman.

David miller

tom is a better Peter

Waira

I never thought I would like another actor in place of Tobey as Spider-Man, especially after Andrew Garfield 🤮, but Tom Holland is no joke. I feel like his rendition of Spidey is far more accurate to the comics. He’s more youthful, energetic, and nails the witty humor.

elina devia

sexy

Colin Carroll

he's the most like spiderman from the comics

Sage Daniels

Because Tom Holland is my Disneyland's Spider-Man star, and my best friend from UK and he's phenomenal with everything that he does

Isabel

I feel that both do a good job,but Tom Holland gets my vote 😛

Patrick Stewart

Tom captures the comic spidey far better than any other actor. Never thought I would like another after Tobey, but Holland gets two thumbs up from me.
