Supreme Court Sides With Coach Over Prayers on 50-Yard Line
Joseph Kennedy, a former high school football coach in Bremerton, Wash., had a constitutional right to pray on the field after his team’s games, the justices ruled.


Well well well, this should start sending the left over board!

It seems the supreme court is on a "conservative" streak, Id rather call it just following the constitution but, hey who am I to complain

More fuel on the fire, Im really entertained on twitter and other social media , these leftist just keep losing it more and more with every decision in the last few days.

Another win for America!

Freedom of religion means just that.

It doesn't mean people get the right to cry about someone praying. In the same light, people can't cry when someone is espousing their opinions against religion.

Separation of Church and State simply means the government can't force a religion on you individually.

In my opinion, of course.

Wow

A school can not force religion on anyone
A school can not force a coach to NOT practice his religion

So once again, the Supreme Court has abided by the Constitution and did not fall for political activism.

Of course the evil left will now bray on about forcing religion and theocracies and be wrong.

Again.

Sorry leftists. Constitution 1, Socialists, 0


BWAHAhAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ive often wondered how the Supreme court would actually act when literal death threats and political pressure were put on them, at this point at least, it seems to have steeled their resolve

If the Libs keep pushing like theyre doing, this Supreme Court is going to go on a rampage of repealing bad laws to teach them a lesson

Which they should ANYWAY but

I honestly think this was a good call by the scotus, the coach wasn't harming anyone and he wasn't preaching at anyone, but it needs to apply across the board. As long as no one gets upset when a Muslim, Jew, or other does the same thing this coach did, it's a win for everyone.

This case came about because some felt pressure to join in to get the same field time to play.

This is great though. I'm sure you will be just as happy when a prayer mat is rolled out and students join in right?



It began with the coach, alone, briefly thanking God after the final whistle for keeping the players safe, for fair play and for spirited competition. But soon enough, the number of players gathering alongside Kennedy after games grew to include a majority of the team, though participation varied. At least one parent said his son felt "compelled to participate" out of fear he would lose out on playing time. And soon enough, the prayers by Kennedy, himself a graduate of Bremerton High School, evolved into motivational speeches with religious references. For seven years, Kennedy continued his practice of praying on the field with no issues. But in September 2015, the Bremerton School District learned what he was doing when an opposing team's coach told Bremerton High School's principal that Kennedy asked his players to join him for the post-game prayer, saying he "thought it was pretty cool" the district would allow such activity, according to court records.

You've been around here long enough to know how I feel about religion in general. I don't see how this equates to forcing anyone to do anything. The coach didn't make his players or anyone else pray (that I know of), so what he did is no different from someone praying on a public street corner, which is legal.

Without the first amendment, we are as screwed as the religious people would be.

No it didnt, he never pressured anyone, people DID JOIN him because they wanted to

The decision LITERALLY spells it out that he didnt attempt to recruit people

At least read the decision before you vomit your bs

Prayer mats are already allowed in public schools.

Do you know how to Google?
