Default Birther, Deather or Teabagger?

What's the chances this coach is a Birther, Deather or Teabagger?

He's probably keeping his own kids out of school today to avoid them
having contact with our President.


The mother of a Kentucky high school football player is furious over
the Christian baptism of her son during what he said was supposed to
be a school outing for a steak dinner and “motivational speaker.”

Instead, Breckinridge County High School football coach Scott Mooney
took 20 of his players on a trip to a Baptist revival, where eight or
nine of the students underwent the Christian ritual of baptism.

Michelle Ammons, mother of 16-year-old Robert Coffee, said she’s upset
that nobody ever asked her consent to take her son to the August 26
religious ceremony. She added that she’s even more upset with the
school district superintendent Janet Meeks, who was at the revival and
did not object to the coach including his students.

“Nobody should push their faith on anybody else,” Ammons told the
Louisville Courier-Journal.

The Associated Press noted that Ammons has consulted a lawyer
regarding her options in the matter.

Meeks said she did not see anything wrong with the trip, as it was
voluntary and fuel for the bus had been paid for by another coach, AP
added.

“None of the players were rewarded for going and none were punished
for not going,” Meeks told the Courier-Journal.

“The bottom line here is that public schools have no business meddling
in the private religious lives of students,” says advocacy group
Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. “Decisions
about where, how, if and when to worship belong at home with the
parents, who are free to consult with the religious leaders of their
choice.”



Here's hoping for a heavy duty suit, a huge fine, and the firing of the
coach and anyone else involved in this violation of the First Amendment.
