You are saying this judge has it all wrong.

M. SMITH, Circuit Judge, concurring in the denial of
rehearing en banc:
Unlike Odysseus, who was able to resist the seductive
song of the Sirens by being tied to a mast and having his
shipmates stop their ears with bees’ wax, our colleague,
Judge O’Scannlain, appears to have succumbed to the Siren
song of a deceitful narrative of this case spun by counsel for
Appellant, to the effect that Joseph Kennedy, a Bremerton
High School (BHS) football coach, was disciplined for
holding silent, private prayers. That narrative is false.
Although I discuss the events in greater detail below, the
reader should know the following basic truth ab initio:
Kennedy was never disciplined by BHS for offering silent,
private prayers.

That's about as close to the diametric opposite of what you claim as it's possible to get.

So where is this in-court admission that Judge Smith overlooked?
