Coverdell Supports Moment Of Silence U.S. Senator Paul Coverdell (R- Ga.) today cast two Senate votes to ensure that the U.S. Constitution does not infringe on a student's rights to a moment of silence or prayer in school. Amendment No. 1382 sponsored by Senator Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) states that "No funds made available through the Department of Education under Goals 2000 shall be available to any state or local educational agency which has a policy of denying, or which effectively prevents participation in prayer in public schools by individuals on a voluntary basis.” The Helms amendment passed 75 to 22. Amendment No. 1383 sponsored by Senator John Danforth (R-Mo.) states that "It is the sense of the Senate that local educational agencies should encourage a brief period of daily silence for students for the purpose of contemplating their aspirations; for considering what they hope and plan to accomplish that day; for considering how their own actions of that day will affect themselves and others around them, including their schoolmates, friends and families; for drawing strength from whatever personal moral or religious beliefs or positive values they hold; and for such other introspection and reflection as will help them develop and prepare them for achieving the goals of this bill." The Danforth amendment passed 78 to 8. "I strongly believe that there should be a relationship between what a candidate says when running Member Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgiy for office and what he or she does if elected to office. Throughout my campaign I pledged my support for a moment of silence or prayer in schools and I have worked today to deliver on that promise," said Coverdell.
