LABC Update – June 29, 2022

The Supreme Court of the United State made what I consider to be another unfortunate ruling on Monday. While some will hail the ruling in Kennedy v Bremerton, in which a football coach sued the school district he worked for because it would not permit him to lead prayers on the 50 yard-line after games, as a victory for religious liberty, I see it as an example of the court allowing people in power (like coaches) to promote their faith in coercive ways. Holly Holman, General Counsel for the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty describes well the problems with the court’s ruling
