After all the discussion over the teen who refused to move for the teacher, administrators, and cops, this is great to see.

Cathy Smith Green posted the above photo to Facebook with this caption:

Richton High School is a small school in MS. Total K-12, we have perhaps 450 students, and everyone knows everyone…well. I snapped this picture of Daylen Jones, not just “taking a knee” for his injured teammate, but praying. In this time where organized prayer is challenged in courts, and schools in fear of lawsuits, cower against atheist demands, it is comforting to know, these kids, who have been brought up right, don’t have to be “lead” in prayer

Jones is a sophomore at the school, is a running back, and — thankfully! — the injured player is well.  I guess there might be something TO this praying thing.
