Rev. Joe (Moment of Silence Laws)

Wallace v. Jaffree touches upon the problems of certain laws but also (see concurring opinions) the likely validity of others. Two things. (1) The background in that case poisoned the well beyond the narrow question ultimately addressed. (2) The oral argument etc. barely addressed a key issue: even focusing on religious exercise, "prayer" is but one means of religious expression. Support of prayer itself favors some religions over others.
