A " moment " of reflection ?

        The Alabama state Senate sent Gov. Fob James a bill that calls for

    a mandatory period of " quiet reflection " in the schools. This is a reaction

    to a federal judge  ruling against Alabama's school prayer law . Now even

    voluntary prayer initiated by students is impermissible.

       Having read a book titled " Why Johnny Can't Think " , I would hope that

    the period of " quiet reflection " in public school extends well beyond the

    60 second limit.

        Could we not perhaps indulge the kids with a whole hour of " quiet

    reflection " in math and science classes ? Even -may  I dare suggest - in

    history and literature classes ?

       In taking exams " quiet reflection " is also recommended .

      It is not recommended for what students do with alarming frequency : listen

    to radio and TV commercials .

         Let me conclude that so called LIBERAL should not lose any sleep over

    prayers in the classroom .I have reflected on the issue now for more than 60

    seconds.
