Netizen James:
"The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever from they may adopt to teach or practice religion. " US Supreme Court on the meaning of the Establishment Clause. (330 US 1; "EVERSON v. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF EWING TP")
No, the coach, while acting in his official capacity as a government agent is NOT allowed to act in any manner which could be reasonably interpreted as being intended to promote, encourage, disdain or decry any religious belief. By participating in the student's prayer, the coach was violating the establishment clause. This is well-settled case-law. To fight it would be a stupid waste of taxpayer resources. Use that money to feed the hungry and clothe the naked and support those in prison, not to pay FRFF's lawyers. Everybody wins!

Flagged for blatant anti-Christian trolling.
I guarantee you if I spoke like this at an atheist website, I'd get banned so fast there'd be a hole in the space/time continuum. As such, this should not be allowed on Christian websites.

Silas Jennings:
Oh please. He didn’t even MENTION Christianity in his post.

Do you think I care what you think?
