Glasgow Independent Schools learned to keep prayer off the football field after FFRF took note of an unconstitutional pre-game prayer circle.
FFRF learned that a prayer took place at midfield before a Glasgow High game. Both teams appeared to form a large circle at midfield, and a coach or other adult was photographed at the center of the circle.
“We ask that the district immediately investigate this situation and ensure that no coach, district employee or other adult is allowed to preach to students, pray with students or otherwise promote their personal religious beliefs to students,” FFRF Staff Attorney Sammi Lawrence wrote to the district.
In response to the state/church watchdog’s concerns, Superintendent Chad Muhlenkamp assured FFRF that the prayer was addressed, and he considered the matter to be resolved.
