PRAYING COACH GETS UNEXPECTED DEFENDER

Praying HS Football Coach Gets Unexpected Defender, Scares Lib Administrators to Death

The Daily Caller reported that high school football coach Joe Kennedy recently sued the Bremerton School District in Washington state after district officials demanded that he stop praying during football games.

In response, the district has reportedly suspended Kennedy indefinitely, placing him on “paid administrative leave,” according to TheBlaze.

Thousands have rallied in support of Kennedy, including the Congressional Prayer Caucus, which sent a letter to Bremerton officials demanding they cease infringing on Kennedy’s religious rights.

For his part, Kennedy said that he didn’t believe the country he fought to protect should be treating him this way.

“I spent 20 years in the military fighting to defend the Constitution and it didn’t seem right that I wasn’t allowed to say a prayer with my guys after a football game was over,” said Kennedy, who served against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq in operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. “I’m standing up for what I believe is right.”

The Prayer Caucus letter defended the right of Americans to practice their religion in public.

“The Establishment Clause does not require quarantining private, non-coercive religious expression to private quarters or off-duty hours,” stated the letter, which was signed by almost 50 representatives.

“Protecting Coach Kennedy’s freedom to choose to kneel quietly after the conclusion of a high school football game and pray, in a way which coerces no one, is something that all Americans should rally behind — regardless of religion or political persuasion,” Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Okla., told The Daily Caller.

“Protecting one American’s right to pray, is protecting every American’s right to pray,” he said.

The Constitution guarantees each American’s right to practice religion. No one is forcing people who see Kennedy praying to pray with him.

Kennedy is allowed not only to have faith, but also to exercise it, just as others are allowed to not have faith. Maybe liberals should focus on fixing other problems, like their disastrous inner city policies, instead of harassing one man who wants to pray.

And something tells us that if Kennedy were praying towards Mecca, no one would dare ask him to stop. But because he is a Christian, it’s open season.

My comments: We Praise God for the Congressional Pray Caucus. This situation is an Example of the DESPICABLE NATURE of the godless, Socialist, Secular Humanists. They are Against God and His Word and all who belong to Him. They are Evil men and women, Impostors, going from Bad to Worse, Deceiving and being Deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)
