http://www.religionnews.com/2015/09/01/school-district-investigates-mass-baptism-filmed-football-practice/VILLA RICA, Ga. — A Georgia school district is investigating after video of a mass baptism was posted on YouTube.
The video, posted by First Baptist Villa Rica, was shot on school grounds just before football practice.
“We had the privilege of baptizing a bunch of football players and a coach on the field of Villa Rica High School! We did this right before practice! Take a look and see how God is STILL in our schools!” the caption with the video reads.

The Freedom from Religion Foundation sent a letter to the district Tuesday (Sept. 1) asking it to “immediately investigate and take action to ensure there will be no further illegal religious events.”
