Baptisizing, Then a Firing in Detroit High School Wrestling Program

by JC on May 30, 2008

A tenured high school wrestling coach was recently fired under allegations that his assistant was trying to convert Muslim students to Christianity.

Jerry Marszalek spent 35 years as the head wrestling coach at Fordson High School outside of Detroit. 10 of those years were spent in tandem with Rev. Trey Hancock, the individual allegedly involved with the attempted conversions. School principal Imad Fadlallah dismissed the coach after the confirmation of rumors by Hancock, and amid allegations that he baptized a 15-year-old Muslim student in Port Huron several years ago.

Sure, there’s plenty room for Rev. Lovejoy jokes in this story, and I’m sure a commenter will bless us with such. On the other hand, there’s a soapbox to be pulled out on this issue, and the Rev. Hancock deserves to get beat about the domepiece with it.
