It all started after a coach prayed on the 50-yard line after a game.
, Kennedy had been praying after football games since he was hired as a coach in 2008. In 2015, an opposing coach told the Bremerton High School principal that Kennedy asked that coach’s team to join him in prayer, which caused the school district to begin an inquiry into Kennedy. Later that year, Kennedy continued to pray at several other games, sometimes joined by members of the opposing team or other members of the community.
“A majority of the Supreme Court flatly and deliberately misrepresented the facts of the case,” Elizabeth Sepper, a professor of law at the University of Texas at Austin, tells. “The opinion describes quiet, private, off-duty prayer by a school employee. But the photos give lie to that claim, showing the football coach praying on the 50-yard line, right after the game, surrounded by players, and holding up a helmet with the school’s team logo.
“And when religious conservatives aren’t in the majority," Schwartzman continues, "they will demand religious exemptions, which this Court has been eager to grant, even when those exemptions impose serious harms on other people. In short, under this Court, there will be more government support and solicitude for the beliefs and practices of religious conservatives at the expense of the rights and freedoms of others.
