Six football coaches at Canton McKinley High School in Ohio have been fired for allegedly forcing a player to eat pork -- which goes against his religious beliefs -- as punishment for missing a voluntary workout. According to a report fromThe Repository, the Canton City school board unanimously voted Thursday to not renew the contracts of head football coach Marcus Wattley, assistant coaches Cade Brodie and Tyler Thatcher, while also deeming assistant coaches Frank McLeod, Zachary Sweat, and Josh Grimsley as ineligible for future positions.
Assistant baseball coach Romero Harris, who had "related duties" in the school's weight room, was also dismissed.

Good thing they didn't force some evangelical kid to do something. Those coaches would of all been hung.

My question is if they knew that pork was against his religious beliefs. If they did not know, this is STILL wrong, food should NEVER be used as a punishment - either deprivation OR force feeding - but it is LESS wrong. If they knew and used it BECAUSE of his religion, they should not only be fired, they should also be prosecuted.
