Joseph Kennedy’s case expanded the place of religion in public life. On Wednesday, he said he would “continue to work to help people understand and embrace the historic ruling at the heart of our case.”
Joseph Kennedy, a former high school football coach in Bremerton, Wash., had a constitutional right to pray on the field after his team’s games, the justices ruled.
Members of the court’s conservative majority indicated that the coach, Joseph A. Kennedy, had a constitutional right to kneel and pray at the 50-yard line after games.
