No government or private entity must ever interfere with freedom of religion, conscience, and belief. Fundamental rights are sacrosanct. Therefore, GLA proudly stands with Coach Kennedy and fellow religious liberty leaders in the brief to the Supreme Court,” said Jason Poblete, President of the Global Liberty Alliance.

Initially filed in the Ninth Circuit, the case has found its way to the Supreme Court. GLA's full press release along with the Amicus Brief and additional background and resources can be found below.
