Parents Support High School Coach Offering Post-Game Prayers
[su_publirb]
A Washington state school district is investigating a coach who is conducting post-game prayers, but he has the support of parents.
Joe Kennedy, the coach at Bremerton High School told King5 that he has always prayed after games, and students have voluntarily joined him. He told supporters the district said he couldn’t lead the players in prayer and he could be fired if he continued to do so. But that hasn’t stopped him, and he hasn’t been fired.
“I spent 20 years in the Marine Corps, and it’s been about protecting the freedom of other people,” Kennedy told King5. “It’s about the freedom, and people can believe whatever they want. I’m just exercising my right. The game is over, and I just thank god for every one of these young men that are out here.”
…Students and parents are planning a rally supporting Kennedy on Friday, and in the meantime a Facebook page supporting him has been started.
“You can bet if the Muslims were out there praying, not a word would be said!!!! God bless you Joe Kennedy and I praying for you and the players. God is in control!” Marsha Arnold wrote.
Good to know how inclusive this group is.
