Meanwhile, in Florida.

It’s like when back in high school, we were required to have a “silent reading” period, just used my cd walkman to listen to music and read Next Gen magazine issues

In before Muslims expect to spend a minute praying and are told they aren't allowed.

[Salodin]

It's clearly one of those laws that's to scratch the back of the religious block but I'll honestly never understand how 1 minute of silence during school is important enough that a law needs to be passed. Dumb law in general since kids are just gonna fuck off anyway.

People give Florida shit, but there's always another side down here willing and able to monkey paw the shit out of this to make them rue their decisions lol

FL Gov Ron DeSantis has signed a bill into law requiring public schools to set aside at least one minute of silence for children to pray/meditate/whatever.

They’ll probably just check their Instagram or something.

What is "Antidisestablishmentarianism"?

Battlefield marketing push has gone too far this time.

My HS did this (Secular private school). Kinda pointless, but eh, not that big a deal, either.

Edit: Meant to quote Anoat, oh well.

[zoobernut]

If the minute of silence isn't advertised as "prayer time" and the school doesn't make it overtly religious then they shouldn't need a law allowing it. Schools can do that shit all they want. Seems like a big silly non issue to me the way it is phrased.

Just add another 29m and call it a study hall. Like, hell.

This can't possibly be abused, right?

How tf does a huge building just collapse?

[Lokus]

Theory I see going around is an unfortunate sinkhole that ate away the supports for that section of the building.

[Vaspinne]

Ahhh, I was figuring Florida being Florida and allowing for cheap/shitty/badly engineered building codes and standards and etc

If that was the case, all of the Miami area including Miami Beach would be outright obliterated by hurricanes. Our buildings and houses need to withstand hurricanes and whatnot.

[Vaspinne]

Ohhh that's a really good point =X

[Jaybar]

Wouldn't need to worry about sinkholes if you could get to some real bedrock and get piles/caissons on that.
