ANTI-RELIGIOUS BIGOTS: 9th Circuit Rules That School Was Right To Fire Coach For Praying On 50-Yard-Line

For years, Bremerton School District assistant football coach Joseph A. Kennedy prayed at the 50-yard-line after football games and before them as well. Students frequently joined him, and he would also give them religiously-oriented motivational speeches. The school district attempted to punish him for doing all of this; he settled for praying alone after the games. But soon enough, he began praying at the 50-yard-line before everyone had gone home.

So the school district suspended him, and allowed his contract to expire.
