The Supreme Court Ruled for the Praying Football Coach. But the Fight Isn’t Over.
posted on September 22, 2022Kelsey Dallas of Deseret News writes, “Reports that Joe Kennedy, the praying football coach who scored a big win in front of the Supreme Court this summer, has chosen a press tour over returning to the football field are inaccurate, according to Jeremy Dys, one of the coach’s attorneys.” The school district offered Kennedy his job back after the ruling came down, but he never responded to the reinstatement paperwork. Kennedy’s lawyer claims that he cannot return to the position until a lower court has finalized the resolution of his initial lawsuit with the school. The school district said in a statement, “Contrary to what Mr. Kennedy’s lawyers have said, a closing order isn’t necessary for Mr. Kennedy to be hired as a coach, but it is necessary to conclude the lawsuit.”
