An op-ed published Monday by NBC News proceeded to sound the alarm over the Supreme Court potentially siding with former high school football coach Joe Kennedy in his lawsuit against the Bremerton, Washington school district following his firing for on-field prayers.

Writing in the op-ed, liberal University of Miami law professor Caroline Mala Corbin warned that if the court sided with Kennedy it would "bulldoze over protections for minorities in the name of religious liberty," and that it would continue a line of other cases in which the court "has allowed Christians to violate anti-discrimination laws."
