when our Government, for the first time in its history, began
-to censor the religious speech of private students.
The United States Supreme Court ruled Monday that
/ student initiated prayers at public school football games are
unconstitutional and went so far as to write the majority
decision in a way that could bar such prayers from
graduations, school assemblies or any other public school

It is a decision that is being cheered by the American Civil
Liberties Union and the American Atheist Association and is
being condemned by Texas Governor George W. Bush and
Texas Attorney General John Cornyn. It was General
Cornyn who appeared before the Supreme Court and argued
that voluntary school prayer at these public school events was
