Teacher suspended for ignoring silence
The Associated Press
SNELLVILLE, Ga. — On the first day of school, Brian Bown's American government class listened to his lecture on the Protestant Reformation while the rest of the school observed a state-ordered moment of silence.
He was suspended yesterday for refusing to comply with the law, which he says is unconstitutional. Legislators pushed the bill as a first step toward getting prayer back in schools.
to say, and they're not taking a minute from me," said Bown, a teacher at South Gwinnett High School in suburban Atlanta.
Classes started Monday at many schools in Georgia, and that was the first time many teachers had to order their students to sit quietly for up to one minute at the beginning of the day. The law went into effect July 1, and it was enforced during summer school in some districts.
"What I have to say is very important.
Similar measures are on the books in other states, although Georgia appears to be alone in strictly enforcing a mandatory moment of silence.
Massachusetts, Tennessee and South Carolina require a moment of silence, but they don't enforce it. Other states allow optional moments of silence.
"I'm sure very few teachers do it," said Alan Safran, a representative for the Massachusetts Department of Education. "We don't monitor it and we're not going to."
Supporters of the Georgia law said it would help students reflect on their activities. Opponents said it was an attempt to circumvent the Supreme
Court's ruling against organized prayer in public schools.
The moment of silence is announced over the public address system.
Most of Bown's students paid attention to him during the moment of silence on Monday. One student, sophomore Kelly Stock, bowed her head in prayer.
Berney Kirkland, representative for the school district, said Bown was suspended with pay. A hearing on Thompson's recommendation to fire him will be held within 10 days.
Democrats continue fight for health reform
WASHINGTON — Democrats are refusing to give up a health-care reform fight that some Republicans say is already lost. "If I have to change my Christmas Eve plans, so be it," said Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio.
The Associated Press
Despite caution signs, some Democrats predicted Monday that a new bipartisan reform plan would lead to progress by week's end.
"This time last week people didn't give the crime bill a chance," said Sen. David Pryor, D-Akr. "No one is willing to give up and quit. There's too much at stake."
A series of meetings on Monday culminated with Sens. John Chafee, R-R.I., and John Brewax, D-La., leaders of a self-styled bipartisan "mainstream" group, presenting their proposal in detail to Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell.
Their relatively narrow blueprint aims to raise the level of insured Americans from 85 percent to 92 percent by 2002 through subsidies to low-income families. It also
would try to reduce the deficit through Medicare savings and a cigarette-tax increase, and contain rising health costs with tax incentives.
Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said Democrats were generally receptive to the moderate plan despite its limitations. He said sweeping reform "isn't going to happen. So the question is, what is realistic?"
He said he had hoped the new plan "would lead to amendments and perhaps some movement in the process this week."
The mainstream group took blasts from the right as well as the left. Conservative Republicans said its plan did little to discourage health-care spending, and they tried to depict the whole reform drive as futile. The bill is far from the 100 percent coverage envisioned by Clinton and contains no fallback mechanisms to expand coverage or contain costs if provisions fail. In addition, the bill lacks prescription drug coverage and a strong long-term-care program, features of other Democratic bills.
'Friendly fire' shootout injures three on subway
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Police officers from two different agencies responded to a report of a man with a shotgun on a jam-packed subway platform — and opened fire on each other as panicked passengers tried to hide.
An off-duty city policeman, an undercover transit officer and a bystander were wounded Monday during the rush-hour pandemonium in midtown Manhattan.
"It was chaos," commuter Kelly Ramchandani said. "Everyone went down on the floor, in the station and inside the last car."
Police Commissioner William Bratton called it "a friendly fire situation." "It's going to take us a while to see what transpired," he said.
The trouble began shortly after 7 p.m., when several passengers told a pair of uniformed transit officers there was a man with a gun on the platform below.
Four undercover transit officers working pickpocket detail on a different platform responded, as did an offduty city police officer who was taking the subway home.
Police were handcuffing a suspect
when a loud bang rang out, apparently from the shotgun, Bratton said.
A 19-year-old woman was also wounded, apparently by the man with the shotgun. She was treated at a hospital and released.
"In all likelihood," Transit Police spokesman Albert O'Leary told New York Newsday, "it appears that DelDebbio fired and hit Transit Police Officer Robinson."
Undercover transit officer Desmond Robinson, 31, was shot four times in the torso. He was in critical condition at Bellevue Hospital. Off-duty city officer Peter DelDebio, 31, was hit once in the arm and was in stable condition.
"We believe the subsequent shots were between the off-duty New York officer in plain clothes and at least one of the six transit police officers on the platform," Bratton said.
Damal Parham, 16, was charged in Monday's shooting with criminal possession of a .22-caliber handgun, police said.
Officers recovered a sawed-off shotgun at the scene and later arrested Shea Kisine Davis, 17, on charges of assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon.
