I absolutely respect your daughter's right to her beliefs and in my opinion, everyone has the right to be exactly who they are in public or in private. Exhorting others to join them in these beliefs on a public high school football field is a different matter. And once again, as the followers of Jesus should know, he supposedly told them in Matthew: “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.”<br />It would have been completely appropriate for the coach to go into his office after the game, close the door, and pray to his unseen father god. <br />Not to mention the whole "separation of church and state" thing which is what my point was all about. The supreme court has struck a blow in that very, very foundational wall of our country.

If there had been a pride celebration on the 50 yard line, would you have considered that a child might have been made uncomfortable? I know you have an answer for that but honestly.., my child embodies her faith just line yours embodies their sexuality and it shouldn’t be taboo to be who you are in the public forum. I’ve followed you and kept good will for your family for so long but I just can’t wrap my brain around what is bigotry in sheep’s clothing.

I don't care if he was praying for world peace, the reincarnation of Buddha, or an end to world hunger. Not appropriate to pray on public school property while being paid with tax dollars dedicated to school employee salaries. His actions were virtue signaling, calling attention to his own godly devotion and have no place in a public school event. Let's not even mention the fact that some of his players may have been made to feel very uncomfortable and even felt as if they had to join him because he's the damn coach. No, no, no.
