Six judges ruled in favor of allowing congregational prayers, while three opposed it. The case comes after Joseph Kennedy, a former Washington High School football coach, lost his job after being allowed to pray in congregation on a 50-yard line after a match. Former football coach Joseph Kennedy has filed a lawsuit against his dismissal, arguing that he allowed prayers only out of religious tolerance, which is not unconstitutional.
The court ruled that the first amendment to the constitution prevented the government from enacting a law against "respect for the establishment of religion." The clause also prohibits government actions that unnecessarily prioritize one religion over another.
Justice Neil Gorsch wrote that the Constitution and our best traditions suggest mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and coercion. The football coach was punished for engaging in short, quiet, personal religious observance
