Idaho mandates 60-second daily silence in public schools for reflection or prayer, aiming for constitutional neutrality.
Idaho Governor Brad Little has signed House Bill 623 into law, mandating a 60-second daily period of silence in public schools.
Students may use the time for reflection, meditation, prayer, or quiet thought, but staff cannot direct or suggest how it should be used.
Supporters say the policy is constitutionally neutral and promotes mental well-being, while opponents warn of potential First Amendment challenges if the practice appears to endorse religion.
The law’s enforcement will be closely watched to ensure compliance with the Establishment Clause.
