Football Coach's Prayer Case Has First Amendment Implications

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of Joseph Kennedy, a former Bremerton School District football coach, affirming his right to pray on the field after games. The case centered on the First Amendment, questioning whether Kennedy acted as an individual or a public school representative. Justice Gorsuch argued there is no absolute separation of church and state in the Constitution, while Justice Sotomayor highlighted potential coercion. The ruling reversed the lemon test, impacting future Establishment Clause cases. Earlier, the court ruled that Maine's tuition program couldn't exclude religious schools.
