It gets harder every year to believe that one of the founding principles of this country was freedom of religion:
A high school football player in Tacoma, Wash., got flagged for dropping to his knee and pointing to the sky after scoring a touchdown during a playoff game.
"It's just something I do every time I get in the end zone," said Ronnie Hastie, a Tumwater High School running back. "To honor my Lord because I play for him. I give him the glory because he's the one that gives me the strength."
Although Hastie's strength may be divine, high school referees are apparently not.
He was called for unsportsmanlike conduct, a 15 yard penalty — the same amount of yards a lineman would receive after steamrolling a quarterback well after a play.
Hastie agreed not make religious gestures after touchdowns in the future. But we shouldn't be so hasty to give in to the encroachments of moonbattery. Inch by inch, liberals are crowding the very concept of a higher authority than government out of our culture.
