Testimony Against the Prayer Bill in Congress

Phenix of Columbia University warned before the House Judiciary Committee that a constitutional amendment to allow school prayers would create an impossible chaotic system requiring a national agency to supervise religious exercises. He joined two other opponents, while supporters included Bishop Fulton J. Sheen and Governor George C. Wallace. Phenix argued such an amendment would undermine constitutional religious liberty by enabling government control over religious life in schools.
