First Amendment to the US Constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
What part of, "OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF" does Bremerton School District not understand?

Joe has the right to pray wherever he wants and he doesn't make his students pray with him, they choose too.

Should a principal that is supposed to be the head of teaching our children deserve to be in this position when he doesn't even understand the basics of how the United States was founded? Does giving someone authority take away their desire to be a free American or their desire to keep allowing Americans to be free? Aaron Leavell, you are disgusting and should not be a principal to our children!!!!

Government needs to be reminded that the Constitution was not written for them but against them. WE THE PEOPLE are in charge.

This action is a despicable affront to the Constitution and the rights of Coach Joe and must stop. May God have mercy on your souls if you continue this effort to banish His very name from your school.

He can pray anywhere on US soil. If the kids want to follow his example that is their own business not the school or anyone else.

I support Joe and his freedom to express his religion in an open manner with prayer. I so support those who choose not to pray. That is also their right. If you deprive one of his right's eventually all will be deprived. Everyone looses!

I support the coach, I strongly do not feel he's done anything wrong, he did not force any one to pray, it's free will, and it shows these boys to have faith, kindness, love, appreciation, and protection. Praying before a game or any where else is not hurting any person on this planet. Our own President encourages the American people to pray for those who have lost their lives on national television and the only difference is, is this coach doing it versus the President saying it. God Bless this man, he does not deserve to be fired for praying for the safety of his team, encouragement, and praise to the Lord Jesus Christ. As a parent I'd rather have this man pray for my children(s) safety it shows that he actually cares then a man who doesn't pray and is just focused only on "winning the game."

He should be able to say a prayer anytime he wants. The kuds that don't want to can stand back.
