this "National Center for Law and Policy" would be just fine with prayer in schools.

I've been an atheist meditating off and on for 35 years and I have not become a Buddhist. I've never heard of such a link between Mind-Based Stress Reduction and Buddhism before, but I would imagine that the practice would help anyone of any persuasion to de-stress. Maybe they want kids to be stressed out?

Ultimately, I'm sure this NCLP would prefer the student's "Choice" to be prayer and Christianity.
