I read this into the Record because I think it is important in this dialog that we have some understanding of what we mean by constitutionally protected school prayer, and I think it is important that we do so, that we do understand that we are within the limits as defined by the American Law Division and within the amendment, as I understand, within the Johnson amendment to require a specific policy prohibiting such. I do not think we are entering the legal quagmire some Members would suggest. I think this amendment does promote a better effort to refine what we mean by constitutionally protected school prayer, and frankly I encourage its adoption.
