Along with her father, Rob, the Buffalo Grove High student has filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law...

I wonder if it's really her or her father who is "outraged"?

The constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. ‘nuff said.

I wonder if she couldn’t just sit and pick her nose for FIFTEEN SECONDS and let the rest go? But NO, if it offends Miss Atheist and her Always-Winter-Never-Christmas dad, well then, it’s gotta go. Whiney minorities ALWAYS rule.

government schools and the First Amendment are utterly incompatible...It can not both have and not have a moment of silence.

Actually this is perfectly compatable with the First Ammendment. The government can make no rules, either for or against this practice. It is also reasonable to insist that athiest people be taught a measure or tolerance as dictated by the First Ammendement.

It is really very simple. Leave people alone to do what they will in the practice or not practicing religeon. (Athiest can always stroke their cell phone or billfold during that moment of silence.)

The government school is in a Catch 22 situation.

It is a catch 22 situation because the federal government is not empowered by the Constitution to involve itself in the Public School System. The federal government’s unconstitutional link to the public schools provides idiot atheists and their equally idiotic liberal supporters to claim 1st amendment violations. The 1st amendment wisely forbids the federal government from establishing a single religion for the nation.
