Illinois’ schools ‘moment of silence’ ban extended
A federal judge on Thursday barred school districts statewide from holding the daily moment of silence suitable for prayer that is required under state law.
U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman said he had given school districts time to object to his March 28 preliminary injunction on enforcement of the moment of silence law but received no objections.
He therefore extended to the entire state the preliminary injunction originally designed to apply only to suburban Buffalo Grove District 214 . . .

…banning a ‘moment of silence’ for someone might be praying to the God that made us! the ultimate big brudder censorship…this is how powerfull the ACLU is….Tolerance is a two edge sword is it not..your freedom is limited but I can do what I want with the sword of vengance and secular humanistic love!
