WASHINGTON (AP) – A coach who crosses himself before a game. A math teacher reads the Bible aloud before the bell rings. A coach who hosts an after-school Christian group in their home.Those were some of the scenarios Supreme Court justices discussed Monday while hearing arguments about a former football coach from Washington state who wanted to kneel and pray on the field after games. The justices were wrestling with how to balance the religious and free speech rights teachers and coaches with the rights of students not to feel pressured into participating.
