Football Games Are For Football

So, Cassville and Mt. Vernon, two towns near Monett, both had prayer before their football games respectively over the speakers, right before the national anthem. I'm not okay with that. If I was a parent to a student in either of those systems, someone, probably a few people, would be getting an earful. You cannot do that. I don't care what religion you are. You are representing ALL of your students and your community, not to mention you are a government funded entity which makes it illegal. I'm tired of people, obviously Christians are more prominent in our area (not picking on just Christianity), pushing their religions on others. I'm not gonna lie and say it didn't make me uncomfortable. I'm also not saying I can't handle it, but that doesn't mean it's okay. If you want to pray, by all means do so, but don't do it in a setting where others are forced to be involved.
