Subj : "I hate the Lefties, but don't know why." To : Jeff Thiele From : Lee Lofaso Date : Wed Aug 17 2022 02:22:01 Hello Jeff, [..] AT>> The power of prayer can help a team win. Have you ever been invited to AT>> join people for a group prayer? How offended were you? JT> That is irrelevant. The government cnnot espouse one religion over any JT> other. The USSC said coaches can. And players who do not go along with coach will no longer be players, or doomed to sit on the bench. JT> The coach, as an employee and representative of a public school district, JT> which is a government entity, was doing just that. Coaches and players can pray all they want, even if they are employees or students at a public school. As long as they do so in private. But when they make a public display of it, and/or lead others in prayer in such a public display, it would be nice to think they are crossing the line. But such is not the case. JT> Unless, of course, he was leading prayers for other religions, too, but I JT> seriously doubt that was the case. "Allah Akbar!" shouted Coach K, rallying his players to victory! JT> Did he offer prayers to Eugene? I don't think so. All prayers are offered to the god(s) of one's choice.
