Till the Law Comes to Call ...

No more ministers leading a prayer before football games for one of our southern Kentucky counties (down at the Cumberland Gap - which is worth reading about if you have a minute). 

All of this nonsense is well and good until the law comes to call. I get it. I'm from a rural area and we prayed before each high school game too (yes, I my playing time consisted of rooting from the sidelines, of course). The principal and superintendent in that district probably knew full well that it was wrong (there is plenty of precedence out there on it), but the coach probably begged and the local board president has probably mentioned how lovely it is that we have God on our side against Hazard or whomever. But, when you get caught (like they did), it is just best to own up to it and change your behavior. Doubling down on behavior like that only digs a deeper grave. 

So, everyone keeps their job, the district loses no money, the football team will probably not lose any more games, and life goes on. A couple years from now, few will even remember it. 

That's what you do when the law comes to call.
