Reply to comment by [deleted] in High school football coach who led prayers on the field will get his job back by Radi0ActivSquid

Went to a small high school in Texas and they would hold prayer at the pep rallys and the coaches would make us pray before games. And you'd better believe they forced you to do it. If you raised enough of a fit about your rights you could get out of it, but you'd be paying for it at the next practice, and the coach may even bench you for the game. Not to mention that you'd get yourself ostracized from your peers.

I find it sad to see that a adult would lower themselves to force prayer on young people. Its even sadder that nobody (e.g. parents ) stood in their way. Most religious people are indeed sheep that seek shelter, comfort and safety in the flock.

In Texas? The parents are applauding it.
