CAMERON, Mo. (KMOX) — Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is supporting a high school's head football coach who led his team in prayer.
This comes after the Freedom from Religion Foundation complained to the superintendent of Cameron R-1 schools. Their letter, sent on October 28, claims Cameron High School Jeff Wallace violated the U.S. Constitution.
It claims head coach Jeff Wallace and assistant coach David Stucky led "religious chapel services" before and after games.
In his letter to the district, Schmitt says the coaches did not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
"Our understanding is that no coach or other Cameron official has forced any football player to participate in prayer or taken any action against any player who chose not to participate," Schmitt said in the letter.
