Double standard? yea, I guess so. I do expect better behavior from Christians. And I expect adults involved in a Christian school to demonstrate good teaching skills, and healthy leadership. And when they don't, I'm disappointed, even upset.

I would hope that we would expect a certain standard of behavior from coaches regardless of where they coach...if the behavior is unaccaptable, then it's unacceptable - whether it's a Christian school, public school, alternative school, etc., etc...maybe I just have a different perspective as a teacher in a "public" school and a football coach at a "Christian" school. I'm tired of hearing comments from officials like "Hey, are you guys gonna want to hold a prayer meeting or anything?" before the start of a game...or the best one from last Friday, when one of our players is down on the field and we ask the official if we can go out to him and his response was "Go ahead. Go lay hands on him and see if you can heal him." Followed by his laughter...
So I guess maybe I'm just looking for officials who treat all coaches and players the same...who have the same amount of disgust for bad behavior whatever the school is. [/B]

I do have the same level of disgust for certain behavior, regardless of the school. I still don't expect it at the ms level of a Christian school. I just don't understand how parents can think that's okay.
As for the ref who thought you should lay on hands, I hope you reported him. Talk about taunting!
