Colin Kaepernick takes a knee to show his disgust for police officers and his hatred of America, and the left goes wild with support.
A middle school football coach kneels in solidarity with his team’s prayer, and liberals try to ruin his career.
It’s amazing how pathetic anti-Christian, anti-American liberals have become, feigning outrage at anything and everything they see.
Via Fox News Insider:
Wakulla Middle School football coach Eddie Metcalf has faced criticism for kneeling alongside his team during a pregame prayer.
A video posted on Facebook Oct. 7 by Keith Whitfield, a team member’s parent, shows Metcalf taking a knee in the pregame huddle, though it’s unclear if he actually took part in the prayer led by one of his players.
According to the Wakulla County School Board, that “act of reverence” is against the law.
“That’s not allowable under the law,” Superintendent Robert Pearce told television station WCTV. “The coach may not participate in the prayer.”
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a leftist atheist organization whose sole purpose is to remove crosses, nativity scenes, and other religious symbols from cities and towns across America concurred, saying the coach’s act of kneeling beside his players prayer circle was “unconstitutional.”
Here is the offending act …

Somebody might want to remind these people that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that everyone in the United States has the right to practice his or her own religion, or no religion at all.
Yes, yes separation of church and state, which is something that was never intended to remove religion from the schools but is nonetheless cited at even the most mundane things liberals find offensive.
As former Senator Rick Santorum once wrote, “The idea of strict or absolute separation of church and state is not and never was the American model.”
The superintendent at this school added that the coach needs “to have separation from the players, two to three steps.”
“You are allowed to have reverent respect for their prayer,” he added.
Staying two to three steps away from a prayer sudden makes it Constitutional? Insanity.
Nice job Wakulla Middle School, teaching the kids that doing a good thing by kneeling in solidarity with your teammates and coaches us a bad thing.

FIRST AMENDMENT:
Congress (legislative body that makes rules under penalty to be obeyed to construct an orderly and safe society), shall make no law (rule under penalty to be obeyed to construct of an orderly and safe society) respecting (giving credence to follow dictates) an establishment (denomination or sect organized for obedience to a theory or ideal of the mind) of religion (belief and obedience of a deity or god), or prohibit (to deny or stop) the “free exercise” (allowing the pursuit of happiness for one to do as they choose without being forced to instead do what others demand) thereof; …
I’m just a common American citizen, and this is how I understand the first sentence of the US Constitution’s 1st Amendment, but then I have only achieved a public high school education and degree. I’m not very good at spinning and twisting words into what I want them to mean, instead of what their authors wrote and meant them to mean. It seems to me that the first sentence of the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution is easy to define the meanings of it’s words, without ever having to spin or twist them to make up any other meanings that their authors did not intend. It’s called “Self-Explanatory”.
Separation of Church and State is nowhere to be found in the Constitution. The Constitution only says that the state can declare a national religion.
[According to the Wakulla County School Board, that “act of reverence” is against the law.
“That’s not allowable under the law,” Superintendent Robert Pearce told television station WCTV. “The coach may not participate in the prayer.”]
1st Amendment – ‘CONGRESS’, shall make no ‘LAW’ respecting an ‘ESTABLISHMENT’ of ‘RELIGION’, or ‘PROHIBIT’ the ‘FREE EXERCISE’ thereof;…
So what law has been broken, and who actually broke the law? It seems to me to be the ‘Wakulla County School Board’ and the ‘Superintendent Robert Pearce’ who is trying to ‘PROHIBIT’ Wakulla Middle School football coach Eddie Metcalf from the ‘FREE EXERCISE’ of his ‘RELIGION’, by denying him the right to observe and show an “act of reverence” toward the citation of a ‘RELIGIOUS PRAYER’, which the US CONSTITUTION’s 1st Amendment gives all Americans the right to do, according to the written words in that amendment..
Keep praying, coach !!
Only God can get us out of this quagmire created by socialists / atheists.
America was founded on Christian principles.
And…the ‘brown clown,’ actually said that Godless Muslims helped found
America ??!!
President Trump 2020 Keep America going in the RIGHT direction !
Precisely, stageangel. Libs / socialists quote the law, made-up-on
the-spot, that have no legal basis.
Smoke and mirrors is the stock in trade of Libtards.
Their “houses” seem to be built on sand…NOT rock.
What law, would that be, that he is breaking?
