Show Sose (1 /2 0 /83 ) page 9 Mr. K Mr. R Mr. K Mr. R Mr. K Mr. R you, of course, it didn't apply t ·o -pr ayer- t hey did away with prayer in school, at least on the s urfa ce, you still f ind prayer in an isolated classroom in the state of Utah. You still find at least up to 2 years ago, some school in the southwest part of Utah had a great big picture of Jesus framed on the wall in the classroom. So, you find all of those things that are not permissive, but who the hell's going to go around policing the state? And who's going back ;the principal and tell him to get that picture off the wall? And who's going to go see if he does it? Who can enforce it, I guess? Oh, it's easy to go to court to enforce it, but the trouble is at that point you need a staff and at that point you need the money to handle these things. Also,is the state of Utah the right place to bring those cases? What kind of question is that? I mean, how could you answer that question? Well, my answer would be no, it's not the right place. But, since the problem is here, what would be the right place? Well, let ~e explain something to you. We had a case,wh11e I still had the job1 in Sioux Falls, Iowa. They had done something there that was absolutely illegal, unconstitutional, and as soon as they say you started or raised the question, the school board in Sioux Falls threw it out. They got together a bunch of men of good will, including a couple of rabbis, and they set up quidelines, 4 guidelines for practice in school. The very, very first year of the practice in one school they had a program that was almost excus1vely religious music, you know, a great big cantata the day before Chrisf. |
