A Father's Heart
|
| A FATHER'S
HEART TESTIMONY OF DARRELL SCOTT, FATHER OF TWO VICTIMS OF
COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, LITTLETON, COLORADO BEFORE
THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIME HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, UNITED
STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1999 2:00
P.M. 2141 RAYBURN HOUSE OFFICE BUILDING
Since the dawn of creation there has been both good and evil
in the heart of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness
or the seeds of violence.
The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the
deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other 11 children who
died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.
The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother
Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.
Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true
killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be
found in Cain's heart.
In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed
at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as
the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA.
I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to
represent or defend the NRA -- because I don't believe that
they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do
not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they
had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest
opponent.
I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy
- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look
at where the real blame lies! Much of that blame lies here in
this room. Much of that blame lies behind the pointing fingers
of the accusers themselves.
I wrote a poem just 4 nights ago that express my feelings best.
This was written way before I knew I would be speaking here
today.
Your laws ignore our deepest needs
Your words are empty air
You've stripped away our heritage
You've outlawed simple prayer
Now gunshots fill our classrooms
And precious children die
you seek for answers everywhere
And ask the question "Why"?
You regulate restrictive laws
Through legislative creed
And yet you fail to understand
That God is what we need!
Men and women are 3 part beings. We all consist of body, soul,
and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our
make- up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and
hatred to rush in and wreck havoc. Spiritual influences were
present within our educational systems for most of our nation's
history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries.
This is a historic fact. What has happened to us as a nation?
We have refused to honor God, and in doing so, we open the doors
to hatred and violence.
And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs
-- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the
NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that
continue to erode away our personal and private liberties. We
do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not
have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws
can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre.
The real villain lies within our own hearts. Political posturing
and restrictive legislation are not the answers.
The young people of our nation hold the key. There is a spiritual
awakening taking place that will not be squelched!
We do not need more religion. We do not need more gaudy television
evangelists spewing out verbal religious garbage. We do not
need more million dollar church buildings built while people
with basic needs are being ignored. We do need a change of heart
and an humble acknowledgment that this nation was founded on
the principle of simple trust in God!
As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and
saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes -- He did
not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician
to deny him that right!
I challenge every young person in America and around the world
to realize that on April 20, 1999 at Columbine High School --
prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many
prayers offered by those students be in vain.
Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard
for legislation that violates your conscience and denies your
God-given right to communicate with Him.
To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I
give to you a sincere challenge. Dare to examine your own heart
before you cast the first stone!
My daughter's death will not be in vain. The young people of
this country will not allow that to happen.
