The Supreme Court Remains Silent on Moments of Silence: Karcher v. May.

Goldberg, Steven S.

West's Education Law Reporter, v43 n3 p849-53 Mar 3 1988

Despite the United States Supreme Court's decision to let stand a judgment that the New Jersey law mandating a daily minute of silence in schools violated the first amendment, the Court, when presented with a statute resulting from a nonreligious purpose, may find a moment of silence permissible.
