History, theory, and policy ISBN 0-8141-2679-0 I dedicate this book to my mother, Maria Luisa Sazueta Duenas, who believed in all the languages of knowledge. She prayed in her eloquent Spanish, read the Bible in English and Spanish, listened to the Mexican radio station, watched gothic novelas on Spanish television, read her favorite literature in Spanish, baby-talked to my children in Spanish, read the newspaper and health books in English, scolded me in Spanish, and read the English dictionary for fun! In her beautiful Spanish and broken English, she instilled in me my fundamental belief in social justice and taught me, by example, that we are all accountable for our actions toward each other, and that doing the right thing is always the most difficult thing to do.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit. July 13, 1999. Appeals from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. (No. CV-96-D-169-N), Ira De Ment, Judge. Before TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge, and GODBOLD and HILL, Senior Circuit Judges. HILL, Senior Circuit Judge: Plaintiffs brought this action challenging the facial constitutionality of Alabama's statute permitting non-sectarian, non-proselytizing student-initiated prayer, invocations and benedictions during compulsory or non-compulsory school-related assemblies, sporting events, graduation ceremonies and other school-related events. Plaintiffs also challenged the statute as applied by the DeKalb County School Board. The district court held the statute unconstitutional on its face, granted plaintiffs partial summary judgment on their claims regarding the statute as applied, and enjoined defendants from enforcing the statute or continuing to conduct the challenged practices. Defendants bring this appeal. I. In 1993, the Alabama Legislature enacted a statute containing the following provision: (b) On public school, other public, or other property, non-sectarian, non-proselytizing student-initiated voluntary prayer, invocation and/or benedictions, shall be permitted during compulsory or non-compulsory school-related student assemblies, school-related student sporting events, school-related graduation or commencement ceremonies, and other school-related student events.

The defendants entered a plea of NOT GUILTY. Counsel for the defendants are requested to contact the U.S. Attorney immediately if the defendants intend to engage in plea negotiations. If the defendants decides to change this plea, the parties shall file a notice of intent to plead guilty or otherwise notify the clerk’s office at or before the pretrial conference and then this action will be set on a plea docket. PRELIMINARY SENTENCING GUIDELINES INFORMATION. The court no longer requires the United States Probation Office to provide preliminary sentencing guideline information to defendants. However, in difficult or complex cases defendants may request the United States Probation Office to provide Sentencing Guideline calculation assistance with the understanding that any estimate is tentative only and is not binding on the United States Probation Office, the parties or the court. The court expects that requests for Sentencing Guideline calculation assistance shall be the exception and that defendants will not make such requests a matter of routine. A request for Sentencing Guideline calculation assistance shall be made to the United States Probation Office not later than 10 days from the date of this order.
