Silent Meditation.
Zirkel, Perry A.; Gluckman, Ivan B.
NASSP Bulletin, v68 n472 p130-32 May 1984
Silent meditation in the schools has been rejected in recent court decisions, including "May vs. Cooperman," which held unconstitutional a New Jersey statute providing for a one-minute period of silence to be used at the discretion of the student. School administrators may be held liable for participating in such practices. (MJL)
