I have no issue with this for a religious school. My daughter applied to 3 christian schools during her application process. Each had questions about faith and religion. I'm sure they reject applicants based on their answers. If you chose to go to this type of school, you need to accept their requirements. If not, go somewhere else.
It does make it hard on the coach.
I am sure a Post writer won a $2 bet by getting that line in the article. Would have been better if they said. Its sad for his career to come to this end leaving a bad taste...
