Atheists Attacking Christianity After High School Player Baptized On The Field According to recent reports, an Alabama school district has become the target for atheist activists. The trouble started when the high school football coach decided to allow players to be baptized on the field following practice earlier in the month. The Freedom From Religion Foundation was contacted by a concerned local resident about the event. The group responded by sending a letter to Russellville City Schools claiming that the school was participating in unconstitutional religious activity and demanding that the district investigate. The school has admitted that three baptisms took place in the first week of October. Reportedly, this was something that students expressed the desire to do. It was not school-sanctioned. The baptism was an optional event, the coach told reporters. He viewed it as important to support the kids. The schools superintendent, Rex Mayfield, claimed that the football team does not have an official chaplain. There may have been people who referred to Tanner Hall as the teams chaplain, but that isnt an official position, paid or volunteer, and never has been, Mayfield concluded. What do you think? Was it inappropriate to host baptisms on the school field or is the FFRF overreacting as usual?
