With the resignation of Texas Tech softball head coach, an internal review of the program was expected to examine allegations of player abuse and racial insensitivity. But another issue was revealed.

All three baptisms took place in the presence of Gregory, who resigned one day after the internal review was completed.

In a section of the report entitled “Religious Freedom,’’ the review found, “Although not communicated definitively as being voluntary, most agreed that participation in any faith-based activity was indeed voluntary.’’ “As the court said, ‘There is nothing … unconstitutional about offering course in religion or religious writings,’ ” James, an ordained minister, said by email. “However, when public institutions engage in activities that propagate religion, they have crossed the line.’’

I’m not sure why people get soo freaked out about faith. Of the issues that can arise in an athletic dept, I don’t think baptism’s are that extreme.

Oh the absolute horror of sharing good news with someone and giving them a choice! Someone call the feds and make sure all those poor kids baptized against their will can take a stand. 🤦‍♂️

wtf

Seriously? Come on now......this isn't journalism. You're reporting about baptisms during optional FCA gatherings?

You mean a white woman whose skin looks like broken leather from the state of Texas is a racist? Color me shocked!
