ANOTHER ATTACK ON SCHOOL PRAYER
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, another attack on school prayer, this
time at the Virginia Military Institute. For 157 years, VMA students
said a prayer before dinner; not anymore.
Attorneys representing two, mind you two, students said it is
unconstitutional. Unbelievable. Schools without prayer, schools without
God. And what really frosts my pumpkin, experts around the country say
it has solved the problem.
Congress, should give them more money. Beam me up. Schools do not
need more money; schools can use God. I yield back all the guns, drugs,
murder and rape in our schools. And I ask what is next, church without
prayer?
