I'm sorry, I missed that ruling. Can you cite the actual case which was
argued which resulted in this ruling? I find it hard to believe that
anyone, including the SC, can prevent any student from saying a silent
prayer before a test or before lunch.

Sorry, while Rush IS mainly entertainment (and rather poor entertainment,
IMHO), Paul Harvey is most certainly NEWS. He does frequently add some
commentary, after all, his program is called "Paul Harvey News and Commentary".
But his morning and noon hour broadcasts ARE news. And while "The Rest of
the Story" IS entertaining, it IS based on REAL, usually NEWSWORTHY events
and persons.
