    Gentlemen, while I appreciate the civility which with you handled it, I think the topic has run it's course.
    Just one reminder so there is no ambiguity about the policy on the use of that word on this site.
    The use of the n-word on this forum, regardless of the race of ethnicity or the poster using it or the context in which it is used, is strictly prohibited.

    The reason a student can lead a prayer but faculty cannot, while faculty can teach evolution, is that prayer led by faculty (or, for example, by a representative from local religion) violates the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, and a member of faculty teaching evolution does not. Evolution is not a religion, so teaching or promoting it does not result in the Government, through public schools, "establishing," or promoting one religion over another. I think it is a good thing. One of the essential protections afforded us by the Constitution is the separation of Church and State. Public schools are a part of the "State," so they are bound by limitations imposed on the State by the Constitution. It can seem like a small thing, because the vast majority of people in SETX are some variation on Christian, so the vast majority of people will not be offended if there is a prayer before a game, whether that prayer is offered by a student or by a member of faculty, or even by a representative from one of the local churches.
    But, here is a thought experiment: What if the majority of people in SETX suddenly joined a non-Christian religion, such that the majority of the school board, the local city councils, and the majority of the local churches espoused that religion? Would you want the kids who remain Christian and their families, to be forced to spend taxpayer dollars so that the local schools could promote that religion? Would you want your taxpayer dollars to go to paying faculty to pray to this non-Christian god at school functions? I think most people on this board would feel that this was something of an injustice, that it would be a violation of the 1st Amendment and the Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution.
    You would be right, and the Constitution would be on your side. The Constitution protects your children from exactly this kind of violation. So as a Christian (I attend church every week, pay a tithe, and have served as a volunteer missionary abroad), I am grateful for the Constitution's guarantees that all of our freedoms of religion (including Christian, non-Christians, and atheists) will be protected from the government preferring one religion or religious group over another. Just like freedom of speech, the 2nd amendment, or anything else in the Bill of Rights, freedom of religion is absolutely essential, and freedom of religion is incomplete without the separation of Church and State.

    And then you wake up and brush the beer cans off the bed. Dayton this year is nothing short of terrible. You may go 1-9 if Lee has some injuries. BH was up 31-7 in the 3rd quarter before the Dayton football ferry entered the stadium and started providing you with gifts. I almost fell asleep watching Dayton play through 3 quarters, so I was happy that you started actually moving the ball. Guess what though you get to go 0-5 Friday!

    Can’t believe this thread is dying.  I’ll resurrect it with my tongue-in-cheek predictions.
    Ned will beat PNG.  To explain this is a conundrum.  It’s like trying to explain the infinity of space.  It’s a bigger problem than the human mind can handle.
    Crosby will beat Dayton.  Any newcomers to the Forum, be advised you’ll see a LOT of smack talk based on yesteryears, but it won’t be close.
    Barbers Hill’s Superintendent will complain if they have a game on natural grass.  In the first place, he’s a jerk.  And in the second place, he’s still a jerk.
    Vidor will play Crosby a very tough, closer than you’d think, game.  Another unexplainable factoid.
    Vidor will lead the District in rushing.  Even though the Pirates have a vaunted passing attack, they keep it under wraps.
    All visiting Teams should wear mud cleats when playing at Nederland’s Bulldog Stadium . All I can say, it’s a miracle it rains there every Friday.
    When PNG and Crosby play, NASA has given the OK for scoreboard operator to use their Super Computer to help total the scores.  Last years official final was 72-69, but after the math squads from both schools went over films, they found it was actually 183-180.  At least the official spread was right.
    And my last prediction, Santa Fe probably thinks they’re getting into an easier Distict.  True there are no Manvels, but they’re going to see a bunch of kids that’ll put a helmet on you.
