I think that religion is too much of a touchy subject. Parents don't want their kids indoctrinated with other peoples religions. What if a coach is Wiccan, Mormon, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, ? Is everyone going to be ok with a coach praying a Wiccan prayer before a game? I don't think so. It is better if it is just taken out all together I think.

Well here's the thing, the students have a CHOICE of whether or not they pray with the coach. They're not FORCED to. My marching band director my junior and senior year liked to pray with the group. Guess what? We weren't FORCED to do it. But we did have the CHOICE to do that. Why remove ALL rights for a few who choose to remain offended, no matter what? That's about the same logic I've heard for the ban on gay marriage. It makes a few people (namely Republicans) uncomfortable, so ban it outright. Do I think that religion has any place in government decisions? No. Do I think that students and faculty should be allowed to pray should they choose to do so when not during instructional time? Yes.

Well said Robbie.

The folks who are getting the free stuff don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.

And, the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop.

And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now... the people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So... the people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them the free stuff in the first place.

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.
