High school coach who sued over midfield prayers reinstated with $1+ million settlement [View all]
Joseph Kennedy will rejoin the Bremerton (Wash.) High School football staff after the Supreme Court ruled on his behalf last summer.
Joseph Kennedy, the Bremerton (Wash.) High School assistant coach fired after he refused to stop praying with players following games, has been reinstated to his job, and last week the school board approved a $1.775 million settlement to Kennedy and his attorneys.
Kennedy began praying at midfield following games after joining the staff in 2008. Eventually, players joined in. The district asked Kennedy to stop. He refused. By 2015, Bremerton placed Kennedy on administrative leave and opted not to renew his contract, and Kennedy did not reapply for his position.
The case went to court and, eventually, to the US Supreme Court.

Now that he has a nice settlement maybe he should retire.
