A U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Monday offered “another example” of the court’s “conservative supermajority continuing its politicized agenda,” said the head of one of the nation’s largest teachers unions as the decision overturned decades of precedent which prohibited educators from leading students in religious displays.
In Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, which concerned a coach who led prayers on the 50-yard line of a Washington state high school’s football field, the court’s right-wing majority ruled that the coach’s prayers were protected under the First Amendment and that school officials who asked him to stop were not acting in the interest of the nation’s bedrock laws separating church and state.
