Supreme Court Sides With Bremerton’s Praying Coach

SCOTUS ruled 6-3 this morning (Kennedy vs. Bremerton School District), that a former high school football coach in Bremerton, who prayed with his players and other students on the field, could legally do so under his First Amendment rights to free speech and free exercise of religion.

Every Republican-appointed justice sided with Kennedy, every Democratic-appointed justice dissented.

I wonder what the ruling would have been, had the coach not been Christian?

Oh, you know what it would be.
Can you imagine a prayer rug and voices declaring allahu akbar?

@Carla Yeah, that image came to mind 😂

@Northwest religious freedom! As long as you are the right kind of Christian.
Freedom of speech! As long as we approve the message.

@Northwest as unrealistic as that should be, it really isn't.
