Kentucky House clears measure for moment of silence at start of school day
Fox News
The Kentucky House easily passed a bill that would instruct public schools to begin the school day with a short period of silent reflection. The bill now moves to the Senate.
Under the bill, the moment of silence would last one to two minutes at the start of the first class each day in public schools across the Bluegrass State. Students would decide how to use that time, and school personnel would be prohibited from instructing them on their silent reflection. Parents would be notified of the policy and encouraged to offer guidance to their children on how to spend that time.
Every student would be expected to remain seated and silent during that time.
