School Prayer Amendment Introduced In House

The Huntington News reports that yesterday in the U.S. House of Representatives, West Virginia Congressman Nick J. Rahall introduced a proposed Constitutional amendment (H.J. Res. 85) that would permit voluntary school prayer. The proposal is identical to the one introduced in the Senate last week by Sen. Robert Byrd. Rahall timed his introduction of the amendment to coincide with the National Day of Prayer.
