The School Prayer Admendment

Testimony of Dean Terrance Sandalow before the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, September 16, 1982. I want to thank the members of the Committee for inviting me to testify regarding Senate Joint Resolution 199, which proposes a constitutional amendment relating to prayers in public schools and other public institutions. Because of the limited time available, I shall confine my testimony to the most important and most controversial feature of the proposed amendment, the abandonment of virtually all constitutional restrictions on prayer in the public schools.
