MS HC35

Requests Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V for the sole purpose of proposing an amendment to protect prayer in public schools.

Proposes a "School Prayer Amendment" that would establish public prayer as a constitutionally protected right that cannot be denied to any individual regardless of location or time.

Amendment language would prohibit states from requiring that vocalized prayer or silent meditation be restricted for students in class, organized school functions, or athletic events.

Urges all state legislatures to apply to Congress to call such a convention, with ratification requiring approval by three-fourths of the states.

Directs transmission of the resolution to the President and Speaker of Congress, Mississippi's congressional delegation, and presiding officers of all state legislatures.
