In Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, 597 U.S. 507 (2022), the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that a public school football coach had a First Amendment right to pray on the football field after games. Justice Gorsuch's majority opinion formally abandoned the Lemon test and replaced it with a "historical practice and understanding" standard for Establishment Clause cases. States with Ten Commandments laws have argued Kennedy authorizes more religious expression in public schools — courts have found mandatory student-facing displays go beyond the voluntary employee prayer Kennedy protected.
