Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 24, 1994
I was heartened by the remarks of the chairman of the subcommittee, the gentleman from Michigan, when he said that we are all trying to struggle to find language that is acceptable to put off those confrontations that inherently occurred because of language inserted in the act. Most of us did not know that language was going into the act, and the author of the language said he had no intention of doing what most people out in the real world felt we were doing, and that is intruding on home schools and private education. Let us look at the Armey language. Let us not debate the notion of whether the Federal Government belongs in the school business; let us look at the language: Nothing in this Act shall be construed to permit, allow, encourage or authorize any Federal control over any aspect of private, religious, or home school. This is a restatement of current law. That is section 432.
