Texas Schools' Moment of Silence Upheld After Carrollton Couple's Challenge

A Carrollton, Texas couple's court challenge to Texas' requirement that schoolchildren observe a minute of silence has failed, reports the Dallas Morning News. According to the report, U.S. District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn in Dallas ruled that "the law – amended in 2003 to add the word 'pray' to 'reflect' and 'meditate' as options for students' use of the minute – does not promote an 'excessive entanglement between government and religion.'"
