Heaven help the coach who bows his head to pray in Coweta County, Georgia. The Coweta County School District issued an edict banning all coaches and other employees from participating in student-initiated or student-led prayer or other forms of worship while acting in their official capacity. “They cannot join hands, bow their heads, take a knee or commit another act that otherwise manifests

They obtained video of East Coweta County High School football coach John Small bowing his head during a team prayer. MORE
