Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with
respect to violence within our schools and the initiatives
within States and localities to address this epidemic.
Whereas the United States has been plagued by an outbreak
of violence within our schools over the course of the past
year;
Whereas violent and disruptive behavior within our schools is
a deterrent to the learning process and detracts from
education in general;
Whereas classrooms must remain some of the safest places
for our Nation’s young people and should be a place of
learning and opening exchange of ideas, not a harbinger
of fear and apprehension;
HRES 399 IH
Whereas recent events in Decatur, Illinois have once again

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the Congress—
(1) commends States and localities, and in par-
ticular the Decatur School Board, in efforts to com-
bat school-based violence, including qualified zero-

a safe learning environment for our Nation’s youth.

mental threats to human health and well-being, and advo-
cate personal actions and public policies to promote and
