    Supreme Court tackles case about praying football coach.
    Associated Press (Center) • Factual Grade 76% • 4 min read

    Joseph Kennedy started coaching at [Bremerton High School in Bremerton, Washington] in 2008 and initially prayed alone on the 50-yard line at the end of games. But students started joining him, and over time he began to deliver a short, inspirational talk with religious references. Kennedy did that for years and also led students in locker room prayers.
    ...
    Kennedy stopped leading students in prayer in the locker room [in 2015] but wanted to continue praying on the field himself, with students free to join. Concerned about being sued, the school asked him to stop while still “on duty” as a coach after the game.
    ...
    Kennedy’s lawyer told the justices that the Constitution guarantees his “private religious expression.” A lawyer for the school district said public school employees can have quiet prayers by themselves at work even if students can see. But, he said, Kennedy’s actions pressured students to pray. The [Supreme Court's forthcoming ruling] could strengthen the acceptability of some religious practices in the public school setting.

Do you like targeted advertising?

Context: New EU tech legislation restricts targeted advertising.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - While it is convenient to only be advertised the items you’re interested, what I don’t like is the data behind it. I don’t think it’s right for every major corporation in the world to know your life better than you, and be able to predict what you want/do. We need to move back to an internet that is privacy-centric rather than a Wild West of data collection.


Yes - Advertising has always been intrusive, annoying, and misleading. It has always been a terrible way to cultivate responsible consumers. Instead of thinking about the actual ...
