Court majority weakens church, state separation
By The Herald Editorial Board
We’re going to need a bigger football field, what with the world’s myriad religions now apparently eligible for a spot at the 50-yard line for a post-game prayer.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sided with a former Bremerton High School football coach who sought to kneel and pray after games, muddying the field of play for the separation of church and state found in the U.S. Constitution.

The week after homecoming, the Seattle chapter of the Satanic Temple — which truthfully practices “owning the cons” more than worshiping Beelzebub — demanded equal time on the field for its own “religious” observance.
Seeking to avoid further spectacle and protect students from feeling coerced into a religious expression, the school district suspended the coach with pay and eventually recommended that he not be rehired as coach. Kennedy sued to get his job back.

From what I hear in addition to pushing his religion the guy was a shitty coach. Should the school overlook his mediocrity because he's a Chirstian?
