Yeah, I think it is a good observation and part of the nature of Liberalism. Conservatives can easily justify much of their agenda as they want to impose their personal values on the rest of the public. Liberals, like myself, may impose a more strict, conservative, traditional set of values with my family (which I do), but I have different views on public policy as I recognize that people have differences and though I might not agree with all the differences, I feel they have the right to live they way they want to live. To me this is the heart of what America is... It does produce, as you point out, a perception of hypocrisy in the Liberal agenda, if you look at it that way... but I believe there are higher principles of liberty and freedom at the root.You make a very valid case on both sides. The only thing I would say is that liberals in general are being incredibly hypocritical on this subject. They have taken liberal indoctrination to the extreme in the classroom yet they fear someone introducing something to their children.Thanks... Personally I think it is BS and that guy should be able to do his prayer and players should be able to join if they want. To allow this though would also mean it would be ok for a coach to drop a matt and pray to Allah if that is his ritual after the game... Perhaps call to prayer over the loud speakers? Where do we draw the line? Thus the dilemma.link?... Prayer should be fine on the football field, I haven't heard contrary.
You've missed some thing then my friend. A coach was actually fired recently for praying. He didn't even make the team pray. He would just pray himself. They said he couldn't do that on the football field. That's how insane liberals have gotten in day and age.
From just this past season....

My cousin has been a Christian missionary and preacher since she was in college and her child is now in a classroom with a Buddhist teacher who, isn't necessarily teaching the religion, but has made some passive comments validating the effectiveness of mediation. My cousin is freaking out because she does not feel that it is the schools place to introduce, promote, or practice other religions to her child, that is the choice of her, the parent. I personally would be OK with my child being exposed to all of this as I think this is part of life and learning, however, I also see the shitstorm this can cause for many other parents and if I were the school or government i'd probably be forced to apply policy that separates religion from schools if I wanted to keep the peace.
Apologies for the off topic post to the thread...
Bringing it back to the transgender issue... I personally don't understand and still feel a little uncomfortable around transgenders, the whole thing weirds me out. I would feel uncomfortable sending my children to a school if the majority of kids were gay or transgender... However, my principles, keep me from imposing my personal feelings to oppress the way of life for other individuals that don't share my reality.
