High Court Rules
On Religion Issues
Washington (JTA) — In rul-
ings that partially split the
organized Jewish commun-
ity, the Supreme Court this
week decided two church-
state cases that could have a
major impact on religious
activities in the public
schools.
In one case, the court,
without comment, let stand
a lower court ruling allow-
ing students to lead prayers
at public school graduation
ceremonies under certain
circumstances.
That decision, in Jones vs.
Clear Creek Independent
School District, chipped
away at a ruling last year,
welcomed by much of the
Jewish community, that
barred the recitation during
public school graduation
ceremonies of prayers con-
taining either God's name or
biblical passages.
Since the high court did
not hear the Jones case and
merely let the lower court
ruling stand, its decision
sets no precedent and is only
applicable in parts of the
country bound by the lower
court's rulings.
But many Jewish groups
expressed disappointment
with the court's decision not
to take the case.
In a second case, Lamb's
Chapel vs. Center Moriches
Union Free School District,
the court decided
unanimously that an
evangelical church group on
New York's Long Island
could use public school
facilities to show a movie
with a Christian theme, as
long as it was done after
school hours.
That ruling came as a dis-
appointment to the leading
Jewish defense agencies, but
was welcomed by Orthodox
and Reform groups.
But the Jones ruling prov-
ed disappointing to most in
the Jewish community, who
had supported the court's
ruling the year before in Lee
vs. Weisman. In that case,
the court barred a rabbi from
reciting a religious invoca-
tion during commencement
exercises at a Rhode Island
public high school.
In the Jones case, however,
the court let stand a multi-
part test allowed by the
lower court. Under this test,
prayers could be said at
graduation ceremonies if a
majority of students approv-
ed, if they were offered by a
student, if they were non-
sectarian and if they did
not try to convert other peo-
ple.
"It's disappointing,"
Samuel Rabinove, legal di-
rector of the American Jew-
ish Committee, said of the
Jones ruling. "It opens the
door to something the
majority closed the door to in
Lee vs. Weisman."
The decision "is going to
cause trouble for Jewish
communities across the
country," said Marc Stern,
co-director of legal affairs for
the American Jewish Con-
gress.
Steven Freeman, director
of legal affairs for the Anti-
Defamation League, said
that in combination, the rul-
ings in Jones and Lamb's
Chapel are "reflective of a
troubling trend."
The ADL had supported
the losing side in the Lamb's
Chapel case, but Mr.
Freeman said that the
The court let stand
a ruling allowing
students to lead
prayers at
graduation
ceremonies.
court's ruling in that case
was "not particularly objec-
tionable."
"What is objectionable,"
he said, is that the line is
becoming blurred in cases
involving religious activity
in schools.
Mr. Freeman, and others
in the Jewish community,
said it is reassuring that in
its Lamb's Chapel decision,
the court referred to the so-
called Lemon test, named
after the 1971 case Lemon
vs. Kurtzman.
The Lemon test, supported
by many Jewish groups, re-
quires all government ac-
tivity to meet three criteria:
Its principle purpose must be
secular; its effect must
neither enhance nor inhibit
religion, and it cannot in-
volve excessive government
entanglement with religion.
Some of the court's more
conservative members have
expressed unhappiness with
the doctrine, but in this re-
cent decision, the majority
joined an opinion referring
to Lemon.
The Jewish community
had not been unified in its
