The high school football coach whose coaching contract was not renewed because the school district condemned his prayers’ before games, has now gotten his job back.
Coach Joe Kennedy of Bremerton High School in Bremerton, Washington in 2008 started to pray before every football game at the 50-yard line.

In 2005 the school district told Kennedy to stop praying before games and eventually he was fired from his job.
In June of 2022, however, the Supreme Court decided in a 6-3 decision that Coach Joe Kennedy has a 1st Amendment right to pray before the game with his team.
