moment of silence


I disagree the recently passed law requiring a moment of silence in public schools. This required moment of silence reminds me of when i was younger and my parents used to send me to my room. My parents would tell me to go to my room and think about what i have done. In my room i would play with my toys or sit down and think about how much i disliked my parents at the time, not thinking rationally about the situation that sent me there. This relates to the moment of silence because i find that the people who created the law knew that most kids would not use this time to actually reflect on their day. I believe that the government who made this law made it because it is a sneaky way to slip religion into the schools. Because there is a moment of silence/ prayer, in some areas in some time could evolve into prayer. it is a slippery slope to introduce religion into public schools.
