actions violated the First Amendment’s Free Speech and Free Exercise Clauses. He also moved for a preliminary injunction requiring the district to reinstate him. The court denied these initial motions on the basis that the district's actions were necessary to avoid violating the Constitution's Establishment Clause. Consequently, the case would have significant implications for freedom of expression in the United States. Kennedy appealed the judgment, and the case eventually proceeded to the Supreme Court of the United States, which considered arguments in April 2022 and released its ruling in June 2022. The Court ruled in Kennedy's favor, reversing the lower courts' decisions and holding that "The Constitution neither mandates nor permits the government to suppress such religious expression. The district acted on a mistaken view that it has a duty to suppress religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech," and that "A rule that the only acceptable government role models for students are those who eschew any visible religious expression would undermine a long constitutional tradition of tolerating diverse expressive activities." Following the Court's judgment, Kennedy has indicated his intent to return to coaching football at Bremerton High School.
