The praying Bremerton, Washington, coach won a great victory in the U.S. Supreme Court this week. But to get that win, he lost his way.
The high court ruled Monday that former Bremerton High School assistant football coach Joseph Kennedy was entitled to offer a "short, private, personal prayer" on the field after games and that the school district had discriminated against him when it tried to restrict him.
This ruling sounds reasonable, as who is against short, private, personal prayer? The problem is that the only part of the phrase "short, private, personal prayer" that is accurate to what was going on in Bremerton in the fall of 2015 is "prayer."
