West Virginia SB46 mandates a daily one-minute moment of silence at the start of each school day.

West Virginia SB46 requires the daily observance of a one-minute moment of silence at the beginning of each school day in every classroom. During this period, teachers must ensure that all students remain seated and silent, allowing them to meditate, pray, or engage in any other silent activity of their choice. The bill prohibits teachers from suggesting what students should do during this time, ensuring minimal state pressure on individual religious practices. The Office of the Attorney General is tasked with defending the provisions of this section.
