Congressman Aderholt Statement on Supreme Court Ruling on Kennedy v. Bremerton School District

Press Release

Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Joseph Kennedy in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District.

"Today's decision is another win for liberty and religious freedom in an era when both are under attack. The Court upheld the right of an individual to participate, on their own behalf, in the expression of religious speech and that it may not be singled out in any attempted suppression."

"I am proud to see the Court recognize that the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect the rights that Mr. Kennedy practiced and that they are to be respected as his own, independent of an institution that believes in censoring such expression."

"I hope this decision will allow others to participate in similar speech, and that criticism of religious freedom be held in standard with the opinions in this case. I'm also thankful that we now have a Supreme Court that sees its job as intended by the Founders, to simply uphold the Constitution and interpret the laws written by Congress."
