The banning of Prayer in Schools
June 17th, 1963
Alfred F. Jones stared deeply at the paper that was held in his hand, slouching back in his office chair and placing his feet on his desk, letting out a long sigh. He set the paper down and laid his head back against the chair, slowly closing his eyes. Who knew what was going to happen to him now. His supreme court judges had already signed the ban and there was nothing he could do about it but but complain to himself.
"Well, this is how things go, right?" He mumbled to himself, glancing around the room.
He took a long look at his window that over looked Washington D.C, the day was clear and the sun shown hard down on the city, puffy, white clouds accumulating in the sky. Birds flew round and round that city and tourists crowded the streets, kids running up and down the side walks with their parents in tow. Who knew that when they went back to school there would no longer be any public prayer during the school day. Or maybe they did know that, it was all over the news.
As Alfred looked out the window he took a deep breath. No use worrying over something like this, even though it was something that he had always done. This did mean for him as well that he couldn't do what he had also always done, pray before meetings, just like his founding fathers had thought him to do. But now that tradition he had always carried out was being broken, broken by the people who lead him now. Though, it didn't really matter to them, they just wanted to interpret the Constitution correctly, but couldn't they have gone to him for that? He was there after all, but they probably didn't care about that.
Alfred watched as over the course of the next few years the moral standings in his country plummeted. His own morals somewhat wavering now as well, though he wouldn't completely fall, not him. He was still founded on those same principles he always has been, those that say "God bless America" and "In God we trust". That was who he was. That's who he would stay, no matter what they took away from him.
