Petition to fire Coach Kennedy for ignoring school district directive to stop leading prayers at the 50 yard line. (The same legal firm that represented Kim Davis is throwing gasoline on this fire.)

5. I think the Pacific NW attitude of "whatever" and live and let live

has encouraged this type of nonsense. As most know, if you allow religious fanatics an inch they'll go for a mile.

A few weeks ago, the coach agreed with the school district's request that he stop this activity. And in fact he did. Then, the Liberty law firm contacted him, and all of a sudden he did an about face and started spouting platitudes about his religious freedom being lost. No one was stopping him from praying, in fact he can silently pray to himself anywhere at anytime.

Then it was off to the Today show for national media exposure - courtesy of the Liberty clowns. Now he's bound and determined to grab his 15 minutes of infamy. And in the end, will probably be fired, and a GoFundMe account will be set up that will enrich him beyond his wildest dreams.

Frauds, fakes and charlatans.
