First Liberty Institute’s Kelly Shackelford Statement on Today’s Supreme Court Oral Argument in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District
Washington, DC—The following statement may be attributed to Kelly Shackelford, President, CEO, and Chief Counsel to First Liberty Institute:
“Banning a coach from praying, just because he can be seen by the public, is wrong and violates the Constitution. No American should be forced to choose between their faith and the job they love. We are hopeful the Court will allow Coach Kennedy to once again do what he promised God he would do – kneel at the 50 yeard line after a game in which he coaches to say a quiet, personal prayer of thanks.”
