Judgment REVERSED Gorsuch J delivered

Document Joseph A. Kennedy, Petitioner v. Bremerton School District, 21-418, Judgment REVERSED Gorsuch J delivered (U.S. Jun. 27, 2022)
If the plaintiff carries his or her burden, the defendant must show that its actions were nonetheless justified and appropriately tailored.
If the plaintiff carries these burdens, the focus then shifts to the defendant to show that its actions were nonetheless justified and tai- lored consistent with the demands of our case law.
Of course, none of this means the speech rights of public school employees are so boundless that they may deliver any message to anyone anytime they wish.
None of that is true here.
And, in fact, none of Mr. Kennedy’s students did participate in any of the three October 2015 prayers that resulted in Mr. Kennedy’s discipline.
But none of those abandoned practices formed the basis for Mr. Kennedy’s suspension, and he has not sought to claim First Amendment protection for them.
Tellingly, none of this Court’s major cases involv- ing school prayer concerned school practices that required 31 Cite as: 597 U. S. (2022) SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting students to do any more than listen silently to prayers, and some did ...
In addition, despite the direct record evidence that stu- dents felt coerced to participate in Kennedy’s prayers, the Court nonetheless concludes that coercion was not present in any event because “Kennedy did not seek to direct any ...

Amicus brief of Church-State Scholars - Main Document

Document Joseph A. Kennedy, Petitioner v. Bremerton School District, 21-418, Amicus brief of Church-State Scholars, Main Document (U.S. Mar. 31, 2022)
Although the parties join issue on many fronts, a single fundamental question underlies their disa- greements: whether the Court will hold true to prece- dents “protecting freedom of conscience from subtle co- ercive pressure in the elementary and secondary pub- lic schools.” Lee v. Weisman, 505 U.S. 577, 592 (1992).
In a deservedly famous opinion, Justice Jackson did exactly that: “We think the action of the local au- thorities in compelling the flag salute and pledge transcends constitutional limitations on their power and invades the sphere of intellect and spirit which it is the purpose of the First Amendment to our Consti- tution to reserve from all official control.” W. Va. State Bd.
As Justice Jackson explained in Barnette: “That they are educating the young for citizenship is reason for scrupulous protec- tion of Constitutional freedoms of the individual, if we are not to strangle the free mind at its source and teach youth to discount important principles of our government as mere platitudes.” 319 U.S. at 637.
Simply stated, “[s]chools cannot expect their students to learn the lessons of good citizenship when the school authorities themselves disregard the fundamental principles underpinning our constitutional freedoms.” Doe v. Renfrow, 451 U.S. 1022, 1027-28 (1981) (Bren- nan, J., dissenting from denial of petition for a writ of certiorari); see also Justin Driver, The Schoolhouse Gate: Public Education, the Supreme Court, and the Battle for the American Mind 5, 12 (2018).
This reality has shaped sentencing and capital punishment doctrines, which recognize that children “are more vulnerable or sus- ceptible to negative influences and outside pressures, including peer pressure.” Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551, 569 (2005); see also Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460, 472-73 (2012); Eddings v. Oklahoma, 455 U.S. 104, 115-16 (1982).
