Judge bans moment of silence in all public schools

A federal judge expanded the ban of a "moment of silence" in schools from just one district in the Northwest suburbs to schools statewide Thursday.

Judge Robert W. Gettleman indicated at a court hearing that he will issue a written order directing schools to stop enforcing a state law requiring a moment of silence at public schools, said Ronak Patel, an attorney for Dawn and Rob Sherman, the plaintiffs.
