Senator Lankford also told us about a coach who was FIRED from a school because--AFTER games, ALL ALONE (or at least NOT FORCING ANYONE TO JOIN IN)--he would stand on the 50-yard line and pray to God---SILENTLY.

(I forget how that came up ... probably a constituent brought up "Separation of Church & State"---possibly in relation to the abortion-concern.)
Was the coach robbed of his constitutional right?

Even though I do not agree with anyone praying in public since according to many ministers, it is considered being a show off, the coach did not harm anyone by praying in the football field since prayers can get answered when we need help from God and His Son in times of trouble.

I agree with the first part, but not the second---prayer isn't so much "asking for help from God and his Son(s)," but more 'acknowledging that there's help available.'
