Protests
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
The Supreme Court yesterdas
barred Bible-reading and recita.'
of the Lord's Prayer in public
schools as part of required class
room exercises. Such a practice,
it said in an 8-1 ruling, is uncon
stitutional. The ruling was on cases from
Maryland and Pennsylvania, but
the decision would apply also in
many other states where such
customs are followed as part of
school-day opening exercises.
The court did not spell out
whether such observances would
be possible on a PERMISSIVE,
rather than a required, basis, but
did bar the establishment of such
exercises by majority rule.
Which is to say:
. Your child can not be RE
QUIRED, as a part of a class
room exercise, to repeat the
Lord's Prayer.
But-
Suppose your child chooses, at
any hour of the day, in school
or elsewhere, to say with rever
ently bowed head:
"Our Father which art in Heav
en, :.
"Hallowed be Thy name..
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will
be done in earth as it is in
Heaven.
"Give us this day our daily
bread. i
"And forgive us our debts, as
we forgive us our debtors,
"And lead us not into tempta
tion, but deliver us from evil.
"For Thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, for
ever. Amen."
Well
In that event
The decision will not apply.
The court's ban is upon the RE
QUIREMENT that these words be
spoken. It is based upon the first
of the ten Original Amendments,
which reads:
"Congress shall make no law
respecting an ESTABLISHMENT
of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech or of the press:
or the right of the people peace
ably to assemble and to petition
the Government for a redress of
grievances."
The court's decision bans all
REQUIRED i by law)' Bible reading-
. ., .
Your child, or you, or anybody
eke. can not be REQUIRED BY
LAW to repeat the simple and
beautiful words of the Golden
Rule, as found in Matthew 7: 12 :
"Therefore all tilings whatsoever
ye would that men should to to
you, do ye even so to them, for
this is the law and the prophets."
But
If at some moment your child
CHOOSES to bow his head and
repeat those tolerant words, no
court of law can PREVENT him
from so doing.
What of the Supreme Court's
late-st ruling?
Evangelist Billy Graham, whol
is crusading in Germany, says
this morning:
"I am shocked at the Supreme
Court decision. Prayers and Bi
ble reading have been a part of
the American public school life
since the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth Rock. Now a Supreme
Court in 1963 says our fathers
were all wrong all these years.
In my opinion, it is the SU
' PREME COURT that is wrong."
He will find many to agree
with him.

Oswald Gallagher, a 19-year-old Indian youth, told his. at
