Silent meditation upheld in Georgia schools
US District Judge Frank Mays Hull ruled Georgia’s law requiring a minute of silent meditation at the start of each school day is valid. The case centered on South Gwinnett High School teacher Brian Bown who was fired for refusing to observe the moment of silence and walking out. Bown and his attorney Steve Leibel said they will appeal, arguing the statute promotes school prayer and entangles government in school prayer.
