On the recordApril 27, 1999
Another school tragedy, another scapegoat. This time it is guns. Littleton is not just about guns, parents or discipline. Littleton is much to do with Congress. That is right. A Congress that allows God to be banned from our schools while our schools can teach about cults, Hitler, and even devil worship is wrong, out of touch, and needs some common sense. It is time for Congress to look in the mirror, and it is time for Congress to allow local school boards to make those decisions.
