CHICAGO: Judge issues preliminary injunction barring mandatory moment of silence

CHICAGO (AP)—A federal judge in Chicago has issued a preliminary injunction blocking the state superintendent from enforcing a new law requiring a moment of silence in Illinois schools.
Judge Robert Gettleman’s ruling came after atheist activist and talk show host Rob Sherman filed a lawsuit against Township High School District 214 in suburban Chicago, where his daughter attends school.
Sherman claims the new state law violates the U.S. Constitution. He says the injunction proves the law that went into effect last month “doesn’t have a prayer.”
The judge set the next hearing in the case for December 14th.
Yay, the good guys win one!
