Moment of Silence in Ill. Schools Ruled Unconstitutional
CHICAGO – A federal judge has ruled that a state law requiring a moment of silence in public schools across Illinois is unconstitutional, saying it crosses the line separating church and state.
"The statute is a subtle effort to force students at impressionable ages to contemplate religion," U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman said in his ruling Wednesday read more****Dear God, oooops sorry, we wouldn't want impressionable kids doing anything as damaging as contemplating religion. Why it would take time away from their studies of gay, lesbian, and transgendered issues.

Dopey stuff on both cases. The judge's ruling, IMHO, is unjustified. Even if one assumes that the case law prohibiting school-led organized prayer in schools is correct, a moment of silence in no way mandates prayer in the schools. At most, it merely provides students with an opportunity to pray silently on their own. Other students, who may or may not be religious, may choose to use the moment of silence for other purposes -- to recollect themselves, to think about the coming day's work, to plan for recess or the lunch hour, etc. Nothing unconstitutional about that.
As for Pelosi, she has jumped the shark with her comments. She is nothing more than a shill for the culture of life now -- intent on fostering an anti-life agenda.
