SF has always seen religion in schools as "all or none". Either provide an avenue for all religions to practice, or allow none. In other words, if said football coach wants to have a Christian prayer at the end of the game and a host of other students voluntarily or "organically" (to use the latest phrasing) chooses to participate, then the opportunity should exist for every other religion or even atheist entity to do the same. If I had to choose, I would say none. The place for religion to be taught and practiced is at home or the Church or Synagogues or Mosques - not at school. JMHO

Gonna throw in MY answer.... Baseball: 38 Years (9 State Finals) Football: 22 Years (3 State Finals) And apparently I am now a "Senior" citizen.... 56, I guess I am OLD now. 😒

A British journalist mistaking the BB gun display at Wal-mart for a "Rifle and Ammunition" gets owned......

Yeah - what he said.......And this is why we have the necessary evil known as the "Lawyer"......Love ya BR.....

I agree … and so does the Constitution. The problem is always with the concept of “implied coercion.” There’s 60 kids on the team. The coach announces a voluntary “Christian” prayer session after the game, and almost all of the kids enthusiastically support it. Almost all. What is the likelihood that the 3 kids who don’t (2 have been raised as atheists, and one is a Muslim) will not feel coerced into attending? Despite the coaches’ assurances that not attending will not be held against anyone, that only heightens the skepticism of the 3 on that issue. Is there concern unreasonable? And how do you account for unconscious bias that might work against the 3? The whole point is that the government should not be making those kids choose.

https://nypost.com/2022/04/26/the-views-sunny-hostin-says-elon-musk-bought-twitter-for-straight-white-men/ “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin said she dreads Elon Musk taking over Twitter, claiming it would benefit “predominantly straight white men” who are on the social-media platform. “When Elon Musk says, ‘Wow, this is about free speech,’ it seems to me that this is about free speech of straight white men, so let them have it,” Hostin told her “View” co-hosts on Tuesday. “Let them just go at it.” Hostin added: “I think Twitter can be a really horrible place, and I think people are excited because he is sort of going to unleash the trolls, right?” “I think he is saying, ‘You get to say whatever you want. I’m going to take away the guardrails.’ And for me, that is something that is a bit scary.” Hostin cited a statistic according to which 38% of women on Twitter have been “on the receiving end of abuse.” Hostin added that her favorite feature on Twitter is the “block button.” She bemoaned the fact that Twitter “has an outsize influence in our world because politicians and celebrities are on it.” The Straight White Male ages 18 - 59 is the least protected demographic in the US. (and receives the most blame for everything bad) Just saying.....

How sad. Censorship is harmful on many levels, even though I fully acknowledge that the owner of the GID, or his duly designated representatives, have the right right to do so.

I can’t think of anyone who has been more openly critical of the NCAA governance.

Yes no one has played Harding in years. 😊

I probably will, on my deck, in front of my Weber, with a beer in my hand. Not really the point of my post, but you already knew that didn’t you.
