Public School Coaches Told Not To Participate In Prayer

WESTMORELAND, TN (WSMV) -

Some football coaches are in trouble for something they did with their players. They said a prayer.
That has the school district taking action.

And the policy, while it may be the law, has plenty of people up in arms.

Every school district has a responsibility to follow the law, and separate private faith from public school. It can be a fine line at times. One crossed in Sumner County, it seems, when the coaches didn't say a word during a student-led prayer, but they did bow their heads.

In a town like Westmoreland, faith and football seem to matter.

"We're just respectful, God-fearing people up here," resident Tony Bentle said.

  2. If there was a muslin on the team they would have to get a rug and space for him to pray.
    Dont give up prayer just because you are told to.
    GOD BLESS THE USA
