Explain how you find that students are using force or threats? I just want your opinion that is all.


Never said anything about force or threats. I equate this to my earlier comment that this is "like a white dude running through a black neighborhood yelling the "N" word. Do you agree that woud be coercive? This organized prayer will be presented by a few in front of people of probably many different Christian denominations, probably a few Catholics, perhaps and Asian or two, even an athesist, and I know one team at Holden that has a couple of Muslim wrestlers and a couple of Hmongs. I find this to be offensive and coercive. Also, I think I can find a court decision that says there is no such thing as a non-denominational prayer.

If Doug has an email from KSHSAA stating no objection, then why all the secrecy unless he wanted a repeat of last year's row on this same subject on this forum. Apparaently even Chief did not know of the supposed KSHSAA position---or he surely would have mentioned it!

I have my opinions, others have theirs. Enough said. End of subject.
