When Joseph Kennedy was an assistant high school football coach in Bremerton, Washington, he began praying at the 50-yard line immediately after games. Soon, his players gathered around and along came the coaches and players from opposing teams. The school district asked him to find a more private place to pray to avoid the appearance of an official endorsement of his religious views. The Justices seem inclined to rule in favor of the coach.
