A midway point toward the conservatives' goal of creating Christianity as the official religion of the U.S. is the mandatory "moment of silence" in public schools. While this is clearly motivated by the desire to fully re-instate prayer in schools - and thus continue the march toward an official state religion by performing an end-around on the First Amendment - it should be Constitutionally acceptable because it does not actually require anything religious of the students. A student may pray - or read, or sleep - whatever. This actually facilitates free exercise of religion, rather than denies it. |
