Mandatory Moment of Silence in Texas Public Schools

Now that a mandatory "moment of silence" in Texas public schools has survived judicial review, can Mississippi be far behind? This seems like a perfect backhanded way for Christian extremists to get mandatory prayer back in our schools. The law even includes the word "pray."

What has always puzzled me about such efforts is that there is nothing currently stopping Christian students from praying in school. They simply cannot be disruptive in doing so or have the prayers led by school officials.
