A 15-year-old California student shot and killed two peers and wounded 13 others. Once again, guns are blamed. Madam Speaker, I disagree. It is time to look at family and the responsibilities of parenthood. But in any regard, just think about it. America has drugs, rape, even murder in our schools, but God is not allowed to enter, not even a moment of silence. Beam me up. A nation that denies God defies God and invites disaster like we are seeing week after week, month after month. I yield back the fact that school prayer may not solve all problems, but school prayer is a start in the right direction.
