Very misleading article. The dopey coach was asked repeatedly to not put the
school district at risk for violation of state and federal law. "Kennedy's
conduct poses a genuine risk that the district will be liable for violating the
federal and state constitutional rights of students or others".
He was first placed on PAID ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE, and told he could have his
job back at any time, as long as he complied with the district laws (like every
other teacher in the district). He refused, and so lost his job. At first he
complied, but a "religious rights organization" convinced him to go against
state and federal law and pray anyway. The school had already offered this
nobody a private place in which to pray, but again he had refused.
What an antisocial jerk and ego maniac. No one and I mean NO ONE would be on
this twerps side if he was bowing to Mecca. He hides behind his bible and
proclaims, "I am more special than the rest of you! I can do anything I want
because I am a religious zealot". What a loser. They did the right thing by
kicking his ass to the curb.

Then, team members joined in. Coach Joe says it's all voluntary.
No! when your team members start engaging in group activities, whatever
that may be (even "God" forbid - gang rapes), there's an incentive resulting
from peer pressure to participate otherwise risk being shunned.

I've seen the same phenomenon on real-life prison documentaries. Prisoners
sometimes are "encouraged" to pray in special sessions where they hold hands
and praise God. OK, fine; but try not attending the prayer group. Next thing
you'll get a shank in the gut for being a nonconformist.
