NPR's Lynn Neary reports: The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution heard from supporters and opponents of the latest version of a proposed constitutional amendment. Although the measure does NOT contain specific language about school prayer, many on both sides of the issue believe it would allow some kind of prayer in the public schools, as well as religious expression in other publically-funded organizations. GOP sponsors want the U-S Constitution amended to address what they see as anti-religious bias.
