Supreme Court rules school district cannot prohibit football coach's prayers on field

cnn.com/2022/06/27/politics/football-coach-prayer-high-school-supreme-court-kennedy/

Quick Glance: The Supreme Court has ruled that a high school football coach has the constitutional right to pray on the field.

Kennedy v Bremerton School District, represented by lawyers from the conservative First Liberty Institute, raised concerns about government employees' free speech and religious freedom in the face of long-standing precedent that prohibits that speech from pressuring students and others to join.

When he led his team in prayer, the coach claimed he was operating on his own behalf, not as a representative of the public school.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State, an advocacy group that represented Bremerton before the Supreme Court, cautioned that the decision encourages "coercive prayer into public schools."
