  1. I see nothing wrong with this and I'm not even overly religious. But in other news you're cancelled nowadays if you don't like Skittles 🤷🏾‍♂️🥴

  2. But if he had been teaching them about lgbtqlmnop he would be lauded and praised

  3. I'ma go to schools and convert ppl too Muslim. You see how dumb this sounds. Keep religion out of schools.

  4. I guess technically you have to separate church and state. But I see nothing wrong with this. It’s no different than praying or practicing your right to religious freedom. I’d get a lawyer and file a wrongful termination suit. And another thing I want to add. If you notice Christianity is the only religion that’s mocked and persecuted. Jesus literally said this would happen till the end of time when he returns than all will bow.

  5. Wow so people getting fired for everything, if he was forcing them it’s a different story but I’m about 99.99999 percent sure it was the kids idea 😂

  6. Nasty a.. water. 20 booty Cheeks soaked in that water and went up there noses and shif. Gross

  7. JESUS IS KING! GOD BLESS THAT COACH AND HIS PLAYERS!

  8. I don't understand the problem teachers are indoctrinating our children in lgbtq bull crap but a coach can't talk religion that's wrong

  9. It said he isn’t coaching for an unrelated incident. So weird post…. But Idk man I’m Christian but y’all can’t make rules where a Christian coach can do this but if a Muslim coach started preaching Allah you would feel differently

  10. Guys I think they took it off the App Store I just took 30min of my time😢

  11. How you gon fire a man of god ?

  12. If they wanted to do it why tf was he fired? This world is so backward

  13. My favorite banned book is the Bible

  14. But yet we would have to all stand and “pledge allegiance UNDER GOD” in school? But apparently religion isn’t allowed?

  15. Gotta have parents consent to baptize someone’s kid but if if your child wants to medically transition to another gender they will keep that quiet.

  16. You was not sent by GOD to BAPTIZE. GOD'S SERVANTS know to BAPTIZE in Jesus Name.

  17. But they gonna be shoving the LGBT$*+@ agenda down every kids throat no problem.

  18. And why are we not protesting for this heroic models, I guess we are

  19. My only concern would be if any of em felt pressured by those choosing to do so. But as an atheist, I don't care if teens choose to get baptized with their team mates. I don't even understand why people would be upset at the time that they were doing it, I mean even if it was done on school grounds, it was still after school hours and it wasn't during an event.

  20. God bless him❤ 🙏

  21. We need more teachers like him and less non binary teachers. Sorry not sorry.

  22. Well done faithful servant.
