Manage episode 336326378 series 3070461
A high-school coach was denied his freedom of religion and speech based on a a more than 50 year old lemon of a court opinion. In the case Lemon v. Kurtzman, the Supreme Court claimed that your right to freely speak and exercise your religion must yield to the government's "interest" in avoiding violating the establishment clause. But the standard "Lemon" put in place put the government's interest above your rights protected by the Constitution. In this years case Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, the court took this Lemon and turned it into lemonade.
