1Opinion of the Court
ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
The only issue before us in this appeal involves a challenge to Georgia’s Moment of Quiet Reflection in Schools Act (“the Act”). O.C.G.A. § 20-2-1050 (1996). Appellant Brian Gillespie Bown filed this suit seeking a declaratory judgment that the Act violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and requesting that the Act’s enforcement be enjoined. On a stipulated record, the district court made findings of fact and conclusions of law and entered final judgment for the appellees, holding that the Act does not violate the Establishment Clause. We affirm.
