2024 House Bill 96: AN ACT relating to moments of silence and reflection.

Details

In Commitee

Bill Summary

HB 96 would require schools to set aside one to two minutes at the start of each school day for "a moment of silence or reflection." The bill states that each student may choose how to spend this minute, whether it be meditating, praying or some other silent activity.

The KSVT Take

KSVT recognizes that allowing students to choose whether or not they'd like to participate in a religious activity during this time is good. However, of all issues today's students are facing, we do not feel the lack of a silent minute is the most pertinent.
