Didn’t take long for another ridiculous story involving atheists and public schools…
In the past 2 weeks we’ve had:
1. An atheist group outline its plan to hand out an illustration of a human Bible sexually assaulting a woman in FL public schools.
2. An 11-year-old atheist who is getting an apology for not standing during the ‘Pledge’ in CA.
And now…

(CNSNews.com) – In its most recent assault on religion in the public sphere, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist group, has issued a complaint against Russellville High School in Russellville, Ala., after the school’s head football coach allowed two students and an adult to be baptized on the team’s practice field one afternoon after football practice.
Mark Heaton, the football team’s head coach and the school’s athletic director, told the Franklin County Times that several students on the football team had asked to be baptized after one of the team’s captains, Austin Kitterman, had suffered life-threatening injuries in a four-wheeler accident only a few days before.
“This was something that the students came to me and told me they wanted to do,” Heaton said, according to the report.
“Neither of these kids had a home church, and they had accepted Christ and wanted to be baptized in front of their teammates who also shared their faith and wanted to be there to support them,” he added.
