Renown evangelical leader Franklin Graham decried "judges out there who hate God and hate His standards" during an interview on Fox News Radio.
Graham was reacting to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling that a Washington state school district was justified in suspending a football coach for kneeling and praying after a game, calling the coach's action unprotected speech and unconstitutional.
"It's sad this has happened but it really doesn’t surprise me,” Graham said on the "Todd Starnes Show" radio program. “We find these courts and these judges are making these decisions against the will of the people.
“We have judges out there who hate God and hate His standards and disrespect the people who follow God,” Graham told Starnes.
