A weekly roundup of important headlines and exciting things happening at First Liberty.


Mike Berry on the Glenn Beck Show: Did High School Retaliate Against Coach Kennedy?

Vice President of External Affairs Mike Berry and Coach Joe Kennedy appeared on Glenn Beck’s radio program. They discussed why Coach made the difficult decision to resign his position on the Bremerton High School football team:


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.”
