This judge needs to have his head examined.

Except that separation of church and state, as liberals so often tout and as defined in the Constitution, does not prohibit prayer in the classroom, nor nativity scenes in the town square. They forget entirely that our nation was founded on religious principles by religious people, that most people in the world worship some higher power, and that they are not empowered to deny religious practices in schools at the federal level.
States and local municipalities can do as they wish as long as such actions are not prohibited expressly under the founding documents.

These judges have crossed the time a long time ago. Now Obama is going to appoint three idiots just like this to the Supreme Court. Of all the horrible havoc Obama will bring to our country, his Supreme Court nominees will perhaps be the worst. Well, next to his surrendering the war on terror.

Does this mean the teacher no longer has the right to tell her class to BE QUIET!

Good grief, this judge is a real maroon (as are the folks who filed this silly suit).

First: If you don’t like it don’t participate.
Second: You are infringing on the rights of the other students who want to participate.
Third: Try Home schooling you delinquent daughter and she would not be subjected to this.

No moment of silence because kids may “contemplate” religion.
No doubt all of the schools TV’s were tuned in to the inauguration so they could worship Slobama.

My friends’ children attended Illinois school with the daughter whose father brought forth the original suit. Not sure if it’s the same people named in the article but the original petitioner drove a car with an anti-religion license plate and the student was a nut job who went around parroting her dad’s obnoxious views. They felt it was against their rights to keep having to listen to her.

Memo to males in Dawn’s high school: exclude her completely from the dating scene. I imagine her kook of a father has already stigmatized her but let her find out what the sharp end of free association feels like.

What religion, Buddhism? Atheists can always use that moment of silence to contemplate nothingness.

Wow. I need to re-read my copy of the US Constitution. I completely missed the part about making kids shut up for a few minutes being unconstitutional. Dang these glasses.
