I can't help but wonder if this will wind up in the Supreme Court? From the Daily Herald in Illinois...
A U.S. District Court judge struck down the state's much-maligned "moment of silence" law, ruling that it was too coercive and crossed the First Amendment line barring government from establishing a religion.
Judge Robert W. Gettleman entered a permanent injunction banning enforcement of the law, ruling that its requirement that students must use the time for prayer or silent reflection amounted to a tacit endorsement of prayer.
"The statute is a subtle effort to force students at impressionable ages to contemplate religion," wrote Gettleman.
