    The Spin


    Right narrative

    A central question of this case is whether a public school employee lost his First Amendment-protected right to free speech. America is a free country and, as long as Kennedy wasn't pressuring anyone to join in his prayer, his expression should be accepted.


    Left narrative

    The Supreme Court has routinely rejected prayer in public schools for over 60 years because it violates an American's right to religious freedom. While Kennedy may argue he's wasn't forcing players to join in, there was an expectation to participate based on the power dynamics.
