Umm...no? He was disciplined for repeatedly disobeying school policy. When he took it up in court they said the school was in the right. That's not an attack on religion; that's an enforcement of impartiality and professionalism.

"The Bremerton School District, located in Kitsap County across Puget Sound from Seattle, serves about 5,057 religiously diverse students, the court said. Kennedy, an assistant football coach there from 2008 to 2015, led students and coaching staff in locker-room prayers before and after most games and also prayed on the 50-yard line after games.Students eventually joined him in the prayers on the field, and he gave motivational speeches with religious content, the court said."
He was actively impressing his beliefs on the group on school time. The repeated and public 50 yard line displays were the last straw.
| Aeolus451 said: Also, none of this debunks what i said about the government going after religion and trying to remove it entirely. |
The onus is on the claimant, not the skeptic. You said there's no praying in schools. There clearly is, just not as a school's display of favoritism. Thus far you haven't sufficiently supported how the government is 'going after religion' rather than just being impartial to various belief systems.
