                               RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing support for designation of the first week of June as 
      ``National Education Freedom Week'', and for other purposes.

Whereas on June 1, 1925, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Pierce v. 
        Society of Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (268 U.S. 510; 45 
        S. Ct. 571; 69 L. Ed. 1070; 39 A.L.R. 468) that all Americans have the 
        constitutional right to choose public or private education;
Whereas this historic landmark court decision should be commemorated annually to 
        remind our Nation that all families have the inalienable right to choose 
        how and where to educate their child; and
Whereas the first week of June would be an appropriate week to designate as 
        ``National Education Freedom Week'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``National Education Freedom Week''.
