SEATTLE (AP) — A student leader at a Washington state high school says he invited a self-described group of Seattle Satanists to protest a Christian football coach's postgame prayers.
Bremerton High School senior class President Abe Bartlett says he was one of a few students who invited The Satanic Temple of Seattle to attend Thursday's game. He called it an effort to get the school district to clarify its policy: While officials last month asked assistant coach Joe Kennedy to stop praying at the 50-yard line, he has continued the practice.
The Satanic Temple wants to hold an invocation on the field.
