About this sermon
There was yet another major Supreme Court ruling on Monday, as the justices ruled in favor of a Christian high school football coach who was put on leave for praying on the field after games. Coach Joseph Kennedy lost his job as a public school football coach in Bremerton, Washington. In a 6-to-3 ruling, the nation's highest court said the school district "sought to restrict Mr. Kennedy's actions, at least in part because of their religious character." Senior Counsel and Vice President of Appellate Advocacy at the Alliance Defending Freedom, John Bursch, joins to share his thoughts on the Supreme Court's ruling and its significance when it comes to religious freedom. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion. In it, he said the free exercise and free speech clauses do not cause a conflict with the establishment clause. Bursch talks more about that. 3 justices dissented from the majority opinion. The senior counsel tells us what they argued. This is the 2nd major ruling just this week protecting religious freedoms, specifically at schools. Bursch discusses what he thinks this signals. He fills us in on any final thoughts.
