SCOTUS to Hear Case of High School Football Coach Fired for Praying After Games
Now, the Supreme Court will hear a case from 2015 over freedom of religious expression. Joe Kennedy was a high school football coach in Bremerton School District who got fired for refusing to stop praying after football games. After every game – from 2008 to 2015 without issue – Kennedy would drop to a knew and say a quick, silent prayer of thanksgiving for player safety, sportsmanship, and spirited competition. It was his tradition, and when the school ordered him to stop in 2015, he refused. So they fired him.
2017 - 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that he took advantage of his position as a public employee
2021 - Same court again rejected his arguments, now saying his attempts to challenge the school district were drawing national attention, which showed he was not engaging in private prayer but publicly speaking in an overtly religious nature while performing his job duties.
Now, after declining to take the appeal in 2019, the Supreme Court will hear Kennedy’s case. His legal representatives, First Liberty, say his case has wide-ranging implications for practically everything public school teachers do or say during school hours or after school. If allowed to stand, Kennedy’s firing could make every form of speech into “government speech that the school may prohibit.”
