A Missouri high school football coach has been attacked for 'illegally' praying with his team, in a recent complaint filed by an atheist group.
In October, the Madison, Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a letter to the Cameron School District in Cameron, Missouri, demanding that the district instruct coach Jeff Wallace and assistant coach David Stucky to cease praying with the players, Fox News reported.
“We ask that the district commence an investigation into the complaints alleged and take immediate action to stop any and all school-sponsored prayers or religious worship.” The group’s attorney, Christopher Line, also asked the district to relay how they intended to “remedy this serious and flagrant violation of the First Amendment.”
However, District Superintendent Dr. Matt Robinson replied by noting that the district had received no complaints from anyone in the Cameron community. Robinson went on to assure the atheist group that the district does not endorse any particular religion but that they would look into the complaint.

Why does he care?
Sounds like many WI Co office holders.
Okay, I demand the Atheist group go to Hades.
I hope he won't pay attention to the jerks!
I'm a christian and believe in God but I agree praying as a group led by the coach is just wrong.Religion is and should be very personal,if individuals choose to pray that's fine but nobody should be made to feel it's required in order to make the team.
Atheists believe in child molestation
I played high school football in the late 60's, college football in the early 70's,and coached high school football through the 70's, 80's and 90's. EVERY game that I was a part of as a player and coach began with us saying the Lord's Prayer prior to kickoff. And not in the locker room but on the sidelines in front of everybody.
Freedom of speech. Leave if you don't like it.
