If a Muslim football coach in Illinois or Nebraska used his position to coerce Christian and Jewish teenagers to participate in a ceremony confirming their faith in and commitment to Allah and Mohamed, on the public school's football field, would you be pissed?

First, no one was coerced.

Believe it or not, no really is an acceptable answer in Georgia.

And no one there cared or thought it was not ok to do.

B.S. !!!

You can say that when you've been a JEWISH student in a mostly Christian high school. Peer pressure is real can often be overwhelming.

Sorry.

Never was a victim of peer pressure.

Know why?

I knew how to say no.

That's all a person has to do.

One of the first things I taught my kids too.

How old were you when you first started smoking? Drinking? (Don't answer if you don't want to.)

Peer pressure is a BIG factor in teen smoking drinking and using drugs.

I haven't yet. And just because my 3 bffs got a tattoo, I didn't have one of those either. Guess I need more peer pressure.

I was 18 when I bought my first pack of cigarettes. Never was pressured by anyone.

I drank when I wanted to. I didn't drink when I didn't want to. I think I was 19.

Yes, it can be a big factor if you don't know how to say no.

You are full of crap. You are in favor of deliberately killing innocent babies--but now pretend you care about someone who is a CRIMINAL accidentally dying.

Yes, it's unfortunate she died--but the deputies did nothing wrong.

Well, that's funny Husker because now you are using the same argument that the Pro Choice used. It is "legal", Therefore it is OK. Funny.

Excellent point. I guess it just depends on who Husker thinks is worth living. Fabulous attitude, and a Christian one, too. evileye

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

As for the OP - they should not have done the baptism at the school. But if they did it of their own free will - then the school has no right to stop them. The question is, who arranged it, a school employee or the one's getting baptized? If a school employee arranged it, that's a problem. If the kids arranged it themselves, that is their right.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Well, the School does have a right to stop them. They can't use School Grounds without Board approval and facility use approval, etc. You cannot use the football field for anything you want. So, the Board could have said No. However, they apparently were fine with this. And, if the Public wasnt' fine with it, then they will have the opportunity to vote out the Board members who approved it if they so choose.

Yes, they do. But this sounds like they probably didn't know it was going to happen. The use was approved for a game, with baptism slid in at the beginning.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Yes. I agree. And, the Coach should not feel free to take liberties either.

They didn't intend to kill her.

However, if you are going to attack other people and deliberately throw pee on them--I don't care what the setting is--you are going to get a beat down, and you deserve it.

Plus, your argument is a complete failure. Yes, law enforcement officers being able to use force is legal--and it should be. Otherwise, how are they supposed to do their jobs? Even through all the "black lives matter" campaign and all the things going on in society right now, NO ONE really seriously questions the legality of the police using force--even deadly force.

They may want more judicious use of it--especially if it is deadly, but even Al Sharpton recognizes that there are situations that require it.

In fact, that is how tazers came about--they were supposed to be a non-lethal alternative to firearms. In this case, she did die, and that's unfortunate--but again, they didn't intend for that to happen.

I don't see how you can make the argument that law enforcement should never be able to use force, even deadly force, to do their jobs. That's ridiculous.

Why are so many threads mixed in together?

I'm having a terrible time keeping threads separate..

As to the OP, much ado about nothing.

Free choice of those who participated. And, yes, schools CAN allow an event like this to take place on school grounds. Community events take place in school facilities all the time. Get over it. Or bar ALL none school events, period.

My nephew and niece go to school and church in the same building.

Public school.

Church uses the gyn on Sundays and Wednesday nights.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

When I was in high school we had a Bible study group in the morning before school. We had to get it pre approved and we were told when and where we could meet. As long as we stayed within those guidelines we were fine. Any group could start a religious class/study time as long as they followed the same guideline.

We had that as well. It was FCA but anyone could be there.

What I was talking about is regular, full on services. Been like that since the high school was built.

His attitude certainly speaks volumes. I know I am truly inspired by his compassion and his "what would Jesus do" attitude. Not. Honestly, the fact that he calls himself a Christian and then calls his fellow human beings a waste of oxygen makes me wonder if he knows what the word Christian even means. I am certainly glad I don't go to HIS church.

Um, not sure where you are getting that. I started an entire thread on that saying and how foolish it is since no matter how hard we try, we CAN'T do what Jesus would do. He would heal the sick by laying his hands on them. He would feed 5,000 with 5 loaves of bread and two fish.

I can't do that stuff--can you?

No. Forgiveness is available to the repentant.

That does NOT, however, absolve one from earthly punishment.

Should we let Dennis Rader out of jail if he says he is sorry?

I didn't think so.
