So many stupid people in this country. It’s the religious bible thumpers we have as judges that permit such idiocy in our public, government schools which are *supposed* to be secular; because of our secular legal document, the Constitution.

I’m sure we can push it further up the chain and get a real ruling going on. So many stupid people in this country.

But as a representative of the school, and thus, the state, I think he was out of line for bringing this legal action. It should have been brought by the students and their families who wanted to participate. I’m not so sure Judge Cavanaugh was unbiased in this matter from the comments he made about showing respect and the possible equating of looking at one’s shoes and bowing on’es head in prayer.

I agree that prayer is in no way secular.

The article states the coach is no longer going to join in prayer with the team, but will only bow his head or take a knee when the students engage in prayer.
It also states that the parent of a sudent threatened a lawsuit last fall if the prayer tradition continued, so some student must not be in agreement with the practice. Peer pressure, especially among members of a team is very strong.

It is fine for the coach to pray silently, and unobtrusively. But as a representative of the school, and thus, the state, I think he was out of line for bringing this legal action. It should have been brought by the students and their families who wanted to participate.

I believe we’re witnessing the pendulum begin it’s swing the other way. America is tired of ONE person pushing their views on the majority.
Everyone better pray that another Supreme Court justice doesn’t retire within the next 2 years…

Actually this ruling make lots of sense. Why would any state employee only give up one of five rights stated in the First Amendment?

Under state law, as the prevailing party in a lawsuit, Riccio is now entitled to ask that the court order East Brunswick Public Schools to pay his costs and legal fees. Riccio said he is considering making such an application.

I’m sure this is going to bother many on this board…

Anyone know how much Barry Lynn pulls in for his position? I wonder if he’s ever had a real job…?
