A former Bremerton High School assistant football coach must be reinstated by March after winning his case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court over the summer, according to a new court filing in the case. Joseph Kennedy, who lost his job in 2015 over his refusal to stop holding prayers with players on the field, had the Supreme Court rule 6-3 in his favor that his prayers were protected under the first amendment. “The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike,” wrote Justice Neil Gorsuch for the majority. Kennedy said in an interview with KING 5 after the ruling that he would be on the "first flight back" to return to his position once he had the chance. The joint stipulation filed Tuesday indicates that the parties in the case have agreed that Kennedy must be reinstated to his previous position on or before March 15, 2023. The district can require that Kennedy complete all necessary hiring forms and certifications before allowing him to supervise players.
