Guest,
Perhaps the Columbine father's words to Congress were not widely reported because his speech was rather idiotic. He states that the reason there are people killing each other in schools is because we are no longer enforcing Christianity as a state-sponsored religion in our schools. I know that the man was in a lot of pain, and I feel deeply for his loss, but the whole concept is stupid. He also apparently feels, as do some of the people who have contributed to this thread, that individual prayer has in some way been outlawed. I for one am glad the press didn't see fit to trumpet this man's belief in the superstitions of the Christian mythology. Would you find it odd if the press failed to report someone standing before a congressional committee and telling them that all the problems in our schools would be solved if every student was given a pyramid shaped crystal and told to use it every day to meditate on peace?
