U.S. District Judge W. Bre vard Hand admitted his ruling Friday may be ineffective. “Perhaps this opinion will be no more than a voice crying in the wilderness,” Hand said. Jaffree predicted ultimate victory in appeals courts. “He’ll be reversed when this is appealed to the 1 1th Circuit,” he said. “It’s like a judge decid ing, ‘I’m not going to follow the law. I’m going to make some new laws of my own.’” Hand’s ruling dismissed Jaf- free’s suit against Alabama’s 1981 law that allows a moment of silent meditation in clas srooms and a 1982 law that allows vocal prayers led by teachers. Hand said the men who drafted the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech and religion, “never in tended to erect an absolute wall of separation between the f eder al government and religion. Jaffree originally filed suit in December 1981 against three teachers who led prayers daily, under the state’s 1981 statute, in his three adolescent children’s classrooms. Jaf free said his children were ridiculed by classmates for not participating in devotionals. He later amended his suit to also include the 1982 state prayer law. The three teachers — Char lene Boyd, Julia Green and Pixie Alexander — voiced their relief. Boyd said the stress she had suff ered during the trial had les sened. “The duress is less, but the battle is God’s, not ours,” she said. Dan Alexander, Mobile County school board president, held a press conference with the three teachers at the George Hall Elementary School cafeter ia where he told 2(X) children about Hand’s decision. Alexander then led the stu dents in a recitation of grace, “God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for our food.” WE’RE MOVING!
