Virginia's attorney general told the U.S. Supreme Court that the state's minute of silence in public schools law doesn't require students to pray

I followed the moment of silence closely last year. The administrators, faculty, parents, and students with whom I spoke about it considered it widely successful. Student activities vary from reading, staring out the window, or contemplating whatever they choose. To say it is forcing anyone to pray or be subjected to prayer is simply false.

This is another case of rich lawyers with too much time on their hands badgering a state government over trivia for no purpose other than to create havoc, sow mistrust, and ultimately to bring about conditions which will destroy the United States of America.

Frankly, I have absolutely no trouble differentiating between the Commonwealth of Virginia and my church. I do have difficulty telling the difference between the ACLU and corruption.
