High School Quarterback Penalized for Thanking God
Mexico High School quarterback Dante Turo was raised by his parents to give glory to God — especially on the football field. "When you score touchdowns, when you make big plays, it's easy to become proud," Geno, his dad, told me. "It's easy to take credit for yourself. I didn't want my son to get caught up in that." Geno, who lives in a small town north of Syracuse, New York, encouraged his son to find a subtle way to praise the Lord after making big plays.
Football Coach Refuses to Lose Religion, but Will He Lose His Job?
The Washington state football coach defied the Bremerton School District on Oct. 16 by dropping to a knee and praying at midfield after the Friday night football game. "I'm going to be bold in my faith, and fight the good fight," he told the Kitsap Sun. "It's beyond humbling to have so much support. Whatever happens, happens."
Southern Poverty a Poor Choice
Don't look for justice to roll down like a river (Amos 5:24) at the DOJ here in Washington. [Wednesday], the department created for justice showed the drought of it in another display of poor judgment. Fueled by a radical agenda that heeds neither the law nor common sense, the Obama DOJ will stop at nothing to marginalize and silence the Americans it disagrees with — a goal it shares with the disgraced Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
Football Coach Says He Will Defy School's Prayer Ban
There's a scene in the great football film "Facing the Giants" when the coach decides to implement a new coaching philosophy — to praise God no matter what the result. Joe Kennedy, a football coach at Bremerton High School in Washington, was so inspired by the film he decided to embrace that philosophy — knowing that to do so could cost him his job. I'll explain why in just a few more paragraphs.
Censorship in America
Support for the idea that it's good to hear all opinions, even offensive ones, is thin. A plurality of Americans now support laws against "hate speech." Conservatives once wanted to ban Playboy magazine, violent rap lyrics and offensive depictions of Jesus. Leftists then were right to fight such bans, but today leftists encourage censorship in the name of "tolerance."
Censoring the Real Planned Parenthood
After six devastating hidden-camera interviews, the best Planned Parenthood and its top-dollar crisis managers can muster in their defense is to protest that they were "heavily edited." Of course they were. All video is edited. It's why they call it "produced." Without offering evidence of exculpatory evidence withheld, the charge is as meaningless as Planned Parenthood is evil. Something else has been heavily edited, in fact so completely edited that virtually nothing remains.
