School Prayer

Linda Wertheimer talks with Jerry Horton, the superintendent for the North Pontotoc [PAWN-uh-tawk] School District in Ecru, Mississippi. He pledges to keep some religion in the area's public schools, despite a federal court ruling against the district's practice of broadcasting prayers and Bible classes over the intercom system.
