Nederland 38 yard fg attempt….

Nederland has no passing attack whatsoever.

Fg by Lumberton no good

Lumberton literally dropped a pass in the endzone.

OT

Lumberton 42 yard fg attempt is short

Lumberton ball at Nederland 35 with 1:09

Nederland has 94 yards to go with 1:32

Nederland dodged a bullet… for the moment. Lumberton fumbled at the Nederland 2.

Lumberton gets one first down and punts and Nederland gets no first downs and punts.

Nederland losing yards with every punt.

The “you don’t have to listen” argument has been thrown out more than once.

A couple of cases or issues come to mind. A school board member is not an employee of a school but is a government official who makes laws just like a member of the city council, the state or US Congress. Those laws may be unconstitutional and although a government official can’t be sued directly, the school district can be. The official won’t be paying for the contempt of court out of his pocket but the school district that he represents might be. In Kennedy, he was praying on school grounds but in a personal prayer after the game. The school district had the mistaken belief, which several districts do, that anytime a person prays while at work or on government grounds that it is a violation of the Constitution. It isn’t. The Supreme Court ruled that the prayer was private and Kennedy’s coaching duties for the school district had ended after the game. In a southeast Texas case (actually from the same district that Nederland and PNG were in as recently as 2022) that went to the Supreme Court, Santa Fe ISD v. Doe. In SFISD the Supreme Court ruled that even student led prayer prior to a football game violated the Establishment Clause. The school district had no say so in the prayer. The students elected whether to have a prayer and voted on a student who was to give the prayer. Since no school employee was involved and in since the students had complete control and the district only allowed the opportunity to do student prayer, thought that it would pass a constitutional challenge. It didn’t. If the students on their own wanted to pray, great. Student led prayer for the masses at a football stadium, who are free to leave or not attend if they don’t like it, had their rights violated according to the Supreme Court. As recently as two months ago in the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans, they unanimously ruled that Louisiana having basically the same law as Texas requiring the Ten Commandments, violated the Constitution. The Fifth Circuit has jurisdiction over Texas and only the Supreme Court can overturn the Fifth Circuit. I am not endorsing the decisions but only stating them as I believe they were ruled.

The traditions have mostly been ruled unconstitutional. The Supreme Court doesn’t set statutory laws however. They can’t fine or jail a person for violating the Constitution. That is left to state and federal district judges or juries who can assess penalties in a lawsuit. What that means is, until someone files in lawsuit, there is no harm. As soon as someone does then there might be a temporary restraining order soon, followed by an injunction, pending the outcome. So when someone finally files with the court and the judge issues that restraining order or injunction and when he starts assessing a $1000 a day contempt of court fine to the school district if they continue, they will have to reevaluate their decision.

This was from that well known slanted political media outlet Fox News from last week It is cited in The Hill article. It shows that in the 30 states that report the party of registered voters, the “Republicans added up to 4.5 million voters compared to Democrats”. “I think it should be an alarm” for the party, Democratic strategist Eddie Vale. “I think it’s a real problem.” So a Democrat strategist said that it’s a real problem. Hmmm… [Hidden Content] Oh, I made a mistake. The original article isn’t from Fox News but from the New York Times which is so far left that it’s in danger of falling off the planet.
