Silence is golden, but bill isn’t needed The Indy Star has an editorial on SB 332 which mandates a moment of silence in schools, mandates a U.S. flag be hung in each classroom, and requires the Attorney General to provided a defense to any school that gets sued over these mandatory provisions. The Star suggests that these matters could be considered at the local level, notes that the Governor would have a hard time refusing to sign the legislation, and states that the General Assembly shouldn’t have put him in that position. The Star points out that the General Assembly has better things to spend its time on.
I have previously offered some commentary on this bill similar in nature to that offered by the Star’s editorial board here and here.
