Requiring moment of silence at beginning of each school day

Senate Bill 46 requires every public school in West Virginia to observe one minute of silence at the start of each school day. It directly affects all students and teachers in public schools, mandating that teachers ensure silence without suggesting any specific activity (like prayer or meditation). The bill prohibits teachers from guiding students on what to do during this time and requires the Attorney General to defend the law. This creates a neutral period for individual reflection, with no state influence on students' choices.
