The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from a high school football coach who was barred from taking a knee to pray on the field after football games.
It is the latest religious liberty dispute to reach a conservative majority on the high court that has been moving to expand protections for religious believers. The long-running case concerns Coach Joe Kennedy, who served as an assistant coach for Bremerton High School's varsity football team and head coach for the school's junior varsity squad in Washington.
But Kennedy and his lawyers rejected the accommodation. Kennedy did not apply for a 2016 coaching position. At an earlier phase of the case, four justices suggested serious doubts about a lower court opinion that went against Kennedy. Justice Samuel Alito wrote at the time that the lower court's understanding of"free speech rights of public school teachers is troubling and may justify review in the future.
