Coach Kennedy Faced Retaliation from School District
Executive General Counsel Hiram Sasser published an op-ed for The Washington Times this week. He discussed the retaliation and mistreatment Coach Joe Kennedy faced when he returned to his job at Bremerton High School:
“Coach Kennedy was ostracized and treated as a pariah. Unlike the other coaches in the football program, Bremerton School District never issued him a coach’s locker, never issued him official apparel, and never listed him on the athletic department website. Prior to Friday’s first game of the season, he was not provided a roster for the first game, not given a “play card,” and not given an assignment for the game…First Liberty Institute is investigating Bremerton School District’s actions to determine whether further legal action is necessary.”
