Voters said Amen in a big way with overwhelming approval of the Missouri Prayer Amendment. The amendment to the Missouri Constitution affirms that rights to religious expression cannot be infringed, that children have a right to pray voluntarily in school, and that all public schools shall display copies of the Bill of Rights to the US Constitution.

The amendment won 83 percent approval statewide, and the margin was even bigger in Buchanan County, where 88 percent said yes.
