I don't see anything wrong with this.  One of the great distortions of our 
time has been the statement that the Supreme Court outlawed prayer in 
school.  It didn't.  It declared that the Constitution outlawed school-
prescribed and sponsored prayer.  If you want to say a silent prayer 
before a big exam, there's nothing illegal about it.  There's nothing 
unconstitutional about a moment of silence.
