I believe I heard him say that the attorney general of Alabama wrote a letter to every school district in Alabama, every superintendent and every school, telling them that the football coach could not lead a prayer before the football game, not because that was what he believed but because he researched the law and came to the conclusion that is what the law requires, and then he went ahead and suggested to the schools what they could do as well as what they could not do, and that his advice turned out to be almost exactly the same advice that President Clinton and former Secretary of Education Dick Riley advised schools all over America.
