The Supreme Court decided that a Washington state high school football coach had the right to pray on the field after games in a 6-3 ruling.
, the Supreme Court decided that a Washington state high school football coach had the right to pray on the field after games, a judgment which could have a major impact on prayer in public schools.
The court's decision overturns decisions from lower courts, which sided with the school district, determining that his choice to pray in such a prominent place was not protected by the First Amendment because he was acting as a public employee "The Constitution neither mandates nor permits the government to suppress such religious expression," Gorsuch added.
Today’s decision is particularly misguided because it elevates the religious rights of a school official, who voluntarily accepted public employment and the limits that public employment entails, over those of his students, who are required to attend school and who this Court has long recognized are particularly vulnerable and deserving of protection," Sotomayor continued.
