MS HR16

Urges the United States Supreme Court to revisit its precedent prohibiting school prayer and render a new opinion allowing prayer in public schools.

Claims that removing prayer from schools in 1962 has led to educational decline and societal problems including increased violent crime, higher divorce rates, higher teen suicide rates, and decreased SAT scores.

Argues that prayer in schools acknowledges God's existence and provides a moral foundation, contrasting with humanism and materialism in current educational policy.

Directs that copies of the resolution be sent to U.S. Supreme Court justices and Capitol Press Corps members.
