All Joe Kennedy wanted was the freedom to pray in public … and to coach high school football again. His first request was granted this summer; and it appears he will get his second come this spring.
Coach Kennedy “is to be reinstated to his previous position as assistant coach of the Bremerton High School football team” on or before March 15, 2023 – that’s according to a ruling handed down Tuesday by a U.S. district court, which also requires that the school district pays his attorneys’ fees and costs.
This latest ruling comes almost exactly four months after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Bremerton (Washington) School District violated Kennedy’s civil and constitutional rights when it fired him for his brief, public, post-game prayers in which students occasionally joined. That was the culmination of a seven-year battle by Kennedy to get his job back.
Kennedy was represented by First Liberty Institute in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District. Before that case made it to the Supreme Court, lower courts (including the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals) had sided with the district.
“The Supreme Court very clearly said, back in June, that Coach Kennedy was entitled to his relief that he sought in his complaint and what he sought in his complaint was to get his job back,” said Jeremy Dys, senior counsel at First Liberty, in an interview with The Washington Times.
“The good news is the school district has understood that it’s time for Coach Kennedy to come back to Bremerton and be on the field again. And he’ll be back on that field on or before March 15th of 2023.”
Dys tells American Family News the springtime makes the most sense to start because that’s when new coaches start so they can “get up to speed and get moving forward.”
Seattle-based MyNorthwest.com reports the school district will be changing its policies to reflect the ruling for the coach’s post-game prayers and must not “interfere with or prohibit Kennedy from offering a prayer.” And The Washington Times explains that before he can resume supervising football players, the district “may require Kennedy to complete all necessary hiring forms and certifications.”
The First Liberty attorney explains Kennedy has been living in Florida temporarily to take care of his ailing father-in-law.
“But he was just up there again [in Bremerton] last week visiting his kids, his grandkids, and watching the football games out there and spending time in the town he was adopted into as a kid,” Dys shares. “He was born there but also was adopted into a family in that town … after his service in the United States Marine Corps.
“Bremerton has always been Coach Kennedy’s home,” Dys concludes, “and the point has always been to get back on that field — and that field happens to be in Bremerton, Washington. So, that is where he intends to go.”

That’s right, you satanist scum of Bremerton High. The first amendment means what it says. A simple statement that any third grader can read and understand. Well, maybe not, with the satanist school boards in charge of our children’s education.
Note that everything that God has said is a sin or an abomination, this Democrat Party cult encourages, supports and protects.
Romans 1:32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
What is it about the First Amendment that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;” that 3 of the 9 Democrat Supreme Court justices insist on either blatantly ignoring in evil, or intentionally misunderstanding in obvious proven Socialist brain damage, way worse than that socially repeatedly displayed by Biden’s and Fetterman’s party. Add 3 more names to the well-earned impeachment list, worthy of impeachment & removal when their witching and warlock Congress falls, for abusing, ignoring and corrupting the very document designed to protect both WE THE PEOPLE and THEY the social corrupters who claim that the Constitution is to be treated like a living breathing document, then in their votes and actions treat it like a life of the walking brain dead. Thank God 6 of the 9 still have the moral integrity to realize that there is a God and it is not them, and definitely not a morally wavering government, run by corrupt men of immediate gratifications, intent on permanently destroying the documents, institutions and the people, whose now awakened greatness stands in the way of their obvious evil intentions. Wellington stated that the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eaton. Perhaps the battle of the soul of this nation can be won on the praying fields of our football fields, beginning with one good man setting the example of how to resist and defeat educational and political tyranny.
Now will he get any back pay? HE DAMN WELL should.
That’s great and too long coming. Now the fun starts when he comes back and the guy he replaces loses his job. Guess the school gets sued again
