No one's suggesting disallowing anyone the right to pray, Whilletal. Individual players can pray till they're blue in the face. They can pray before and after every play for all I care.
You just can't, in a government funded, compulsory public school, tell everyone to join in.

I did not read anything in the article that said he forced players to join in. In this article it states that it was a student initiated prayer.

And it seems to me that it is a case of disallowing the coach the right to pray. And apparently they are not allowed to pray before or after plays either. Honestly its not about a requirement of prayer its about praying at all. I just don't see why its a problem. If you are Jewish say a prayer from Torah, if your Buddhist say a chant etc.
