At Peach County Schools in Georgia, administrators have pledged to educate coaches on expectations regarding First Amendment requirements, thanks to a letter from FFRF.
A local resident reported that the Peach County High School football coach had been praying with his team. FFRF Legal Fellow Chris Line wrote to the district to object to this unconstitutional school-sponsored prayer and ask that the district interfere to stop this practice.
The districtās counsel responded to FFRFās complaint with assurances that the superintendent of the district āintends to meet with high school personnel, including all coaches, to discuss issues related to the First Amendment, including the Establishment and Free Exercise Clause.ā The district also noted that it is āconfident that all of its schools make good faith efforts to fully comply with the requirements of the Constitution and protect the rights of all parties.ā
