Winning!
He was an assistant coach; not the head coach. Will still get his position back; and a big check.
"Free"? Wee they being forced to kneel on the 50 yard line?
Additionally awesome news is seeing stories related to the REAL fix for these matters - getting govt out of education as much as humanly possible. Like the new AZ model for funding individuals to attend public/private schools of their choice.
It would require many state level constitutional amendments to get govt out of education funding altogether. But the more we can get gov't out of education administration, the better off will be our kids and individual freedom generally.
Even honest folks can argue all day about the legal aspects of what constitutionally can and can't go on in govt schools. But the definitions and ruling can change with the wind. Let's also work to make it as easy as possible for ALL parents to choose non-govt schools.
The fed level weed known as the Dept of Education was a mere sprout when Reagan took office and even he could not pull it out as many Rs had hoped. Now it is a monster with deep roots. But it still should be destroyed. With prejudice. Public prejudice. Public ex-Prez prejudice.
I hope populist Trump sees a popular wave of devolution on the horizon and chooses to surf it into victory over the authoritarian Left. All R candidates for prez in 2024 should be calling to throw off the commie/tranny shackles of the Dept of Ed.
The timing is more Right than ever. There is no excuse for R candidates to NOT endorse a ROE-like overturn of policy regarding education. Follow the fresh lead of the two great Bush cartel appointees who just schooled the world and overturned decades of seemingly settled but horribly bad law.
The notion that an ever-wiser-than-you central govt MUST have an Ed department to guide things was ALWAYS wrong, like ROE. The Dept of Ed was born only a few millions abortions after ROE - 1979. R candidates should very publicly blame the root of today's problems on prior misguided authoritarian turns from Carter - the 70's version of Biden.
Several fed level agencies / depts should be burned to the ground, of course. But starting with Dept of Ed would make sense right now. What libs are doing to our kids via indoctrination-based education has now undeniably become driven by the author of confusion's spirit working in the minds of those with no real moral foundation.
It it easy to make the constitutional case that feds SHOULDN'T attempt to help with education at all.
And we now have decades of proof that they COULDN'T manage to make anything better, only worse.
It is refreshing to have a SC that rules based thinking rather than on feeling. Let's push our admin and legislative candidates to do the same.
This is a great question. Clearly a coach has a certain amount of power over the players. There certainly could be risk their playing time or position is impacted by a decision to ignore the coaches celebration. There would be no way to prove that was happening as coaching decisions are very personal. If a coach was out there praising his belief in the transgender grooming religion, would you still have such a high level of support? I struggle a bit with bringing every personal belief into the public school sphere. So now these groomers can make their belief an official religion (is there some registration?), and parents will have limited ability to shield their children if they want to participate in school activities? I think this question is different from a valedictorian, vs someone in the government employment with “power” over your child’s success.
The coach should be compensated a considerable sum of money by the libtard religious bigots š¤Ŗ
They violated his civil rights - thatās what libtards do šš»
You can only put your knee on a football field if your girlfriend has converted you to Islam and you are co-opting the humble and charity-inspired symbolic actions of a coach and fellow players concerned about a downed teammate to further a decidedly anti-American political agenda. /s
It was the Federalist Society that sent the suggested judges to President Trump.
Or if the religion and prayer in question was Islam or Satanist,
6-3 decision
And it certainly did not mean government could not affirm religion in general, in particular the Christian faith, as founders overall did. And to allow secular atheism, a faith-based ideology, to be officially expressed and taught - which it at least implicitly is when government never expresses need for or gratitude to any deity - while forbidding general theistic-abased faith from being officially expressed, is bias. If the expressly non-theistic Satanic Temple of Salem can obtain religious exemption then might not secular communities of beliefs be considered a religion?
A key aspect here was allowing comparable secular speech: "A government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a personal religious observance, based on a mistaken view that it has a duty to suppress religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion."
Leftists are complaining he was forcing players to pray his prayer. I donāt think that a was a even argued, was it?
I didn’t see it in the opinion. Evidently, some began to gather around him, but he never invited or required. I’m assuming scotus considered that still to be his private exercise.
