State Barred From Enforcing Moment Of Silence In Schools
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction today blocking the state superintendent from enforcing a new law requiring a moment of silence in Illinois schools.
Judge Robert Gettleman's ruling came after atheist activist and talk-show host Rob Sherman filed a lawsuit against Township High School District 214 in suburban Chicago, where his daughter attends school.
Sherman, whose daughter is a freshman at Buffalo Grove High School, claims the new state law violates the U.S. Constitution. He says the injunction proves the law that went into effect last month "doesn't have a prayer."
Yesterday, Gettleman blocked the Township district from enforcing the state law, calling the statute "likely unconstitutional" and vague. Full Story
