Your decision was gutless and

ridiculously politically correct. Dr. Swearingen, we need real leaders

at this grave time in our country who have courage and are guided by moral

principles, not political perversions.

I have also enclosed a copy

of the First Amendment since you and your legal team have no idea what

it says or means. I don't remember Congress making a law establishing

Christianity as the official religion of America and that prayer had to

be given at each high school football game. That's all the founding

father wanted to avoid. They obviously wanted, however, to promote the

"free exercise" of religion which is what was traditionally

done by high schools on Friday night all over this country long before

you were born.

Do us all a favor and resign.

It is only a shrill minority of godless liberals with a handful of like-minded

judges and weak people in authority, such as yourself, that has brought

about this hostile environment toward God. I look forward to the day when

decent, moral, God-fearing people are valued and when acknowledgment of

a higher authority returns to the public square and Friday night high

school football.
