The article denounces Supreme Court religion rulings from Everson 1947 through recent cases. It notes Madalyn Murray O Hair's 1963 school prayer challenge and references Chief Justice Rehnquist's dissent on student led prayers at public school football games.
The author argues against public prayers before games as a display of faith and urges conservatives to rely on personal deeds rather than seeking government sanction. They cite Jesus and St. Francis to promote private, transformative faith and warn against politics dictating religious practice. Politicians’ appointments are irrelevant to true prayer lives.
The Gazette corrects several items: Cedar Rapids Municipal Band concert moves to 7 30 p m Sunday at Bever Park and Indigo Girls show at 7 30 p m Wednesday at Paramount Theatre Cedar Rapids. Washington Aquatics Center opens July 1. The paper commits to corrections in this space and invites complaints via phone.
The 11th U S Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously refused to rehear the Elian Gonzalez custody dispute. The ruling said no further stays or injunctive relief would be granted and the current stay will dissolve next Wednesday.
The Gazette highlights an environmental pledge by using soybean ink and recycled newsprint. It invites readers to recycle newspapers at City Carton on Sixth St SW or at nearby local recycling sites. Each action supports a greener future and community involvement.
Des Plaines acting mayor Tony Arredia will designate July as Be Nice Month. Aldermen will nominate weekly honorees for acts of courtesy from helping neighbors with groceries to a simple hello. He recalled a carload of youths shouting at a slower driver as the moment behind the plan.
