This book explores the intersection of issues related to religion and state in public schools in the United States.

Framed through a study of the landmark 2022 Supreme Court case Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, where a high school football coach’s post-game prayers at midfield became the centerpiece of a major ruling on religious expression in public schools, the book analyzes how this case represents a significant shift in the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Establishment Clause, particularly under the Roberts Court, which has increasingly favored religious freedom claims over strict separation of church and state.
