On the recordNovember 7, 1997
Students in Alabama are skipping school protesting the fact that they are not allowed to pray. Think about it. Even though America has guns, rape, drugs, even heroin and murder in our schools, students are not allowed to pray. Unbelievable. A school without prayer is a school without God and a nation that denies prayer is a nation that denies God; and a nation that denies God is a nation that just may welcome the devil. Members of Congress, the Constitution may separate church and State, but the Founders never intended to separate God and the American people. I yield back any common sense and logic we have left.
