The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a high school football coach has a constitutional right to kneel and pray on the field in front of his team after games. With this, the court reversed the judgments of the last sixty years. After all, they forbade praying in public schools during school activities, including school-attended sports competitions.
In this case, freedom of expression and religion were against the constitutional ban on religious activities in public schools. Religious freedom won. Six conservative judges of the court voted in favor of the decision, while three ‘liberal’ judges opposed it.
This is the third decision in a short time since the court broke the decades-old case law. Last week, the court extended all rights to carry firearms and Roe vs. Wade since 1973, in which the right to abortion was granted constitutional protection.
As soon as the verdict was announced, there was a stir in conservative circles. Donald Trump’s Vice President Mike Pence praised the report. “Religious freedom has won today! At Kennedy v. Primerton School District 6-3, the Supreme Court upheld our primary religious freedom.
