The coach's insistence on praying on football fields after games cost him his spot on the sideline — and resulted in a Supreme Court victory on religious freedom grounds. Now Joseph Kennedy will return to the position he lost in 2015.
Joseph Kennedy, seen here taking a knee in front of the U.S. Supreme Court last spring, will return to coach at Bremerton High School. His practice of praying on the field sparked a court case over accommodating religious expression in public schools.— and resulted in a Supreme Court victory on religious freedom grounds. Now Joseph Kennedy will return to the position he lost in 2015.
But there's more work to be done, because in two crucial areas — one regarding the relief Kennedy is entitled to, and another having to do with the language of the final injunction — the document says the two sides"disagree on the specific wording." They plan to submit their own versions of the court's proposed order by Nov. 8.
A looming price tag is another concern for the school district, as the stipulation notes Kennedy can claim"reasonable attorneys' fees and costs" in his case against Bremerton, a small city that sits across Puget Sound from Seattle.
