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.
