Talk about making children fell bad about themselves!!

Yep, if something might happen then fire the public employee. ;)

Or he could, as a coach of children,, stop doing stuff that might make kids feel manipulated. Seems like a no-brainer.

We will (soon?) see what the SCOTUS says about that. Of course, they may decide to punt.

His religious rights do not apply when he is at work for a public school, just as a judge's religious beliefs don't apply to how he does his job on the bench. Conservatives learned that lesson when Kim Davis got to cool her heels in jail when she tried to cite her religious beliefs as a way to nullify the LGBT marriage equality decision. He is not to be used his influence as a coach to coerce his student-athletes with his religious beliefs.

Do you not understand the seperation of chich and state or do you reject it? The state and those who work as employees for it are to be neutral on issues of religion while at work. If he wants to pray on the job then maybe he should apply to coach at a parochial school. Would you be equally supportive if that coach was Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, pagan, Scientologist, or a Satanist and coerced the athletes to take part as team players?
