OMG - not in a good way [View all]
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Nevada Republicans are proposing a bill that adds protective language regarding religious activities for public school students.
Assemblyman Jim Wheeler and several other Assembly Republicans are sponsoring AB 120, which would codify rights given to students regarding school prayer and religious organizing. The bill is scheduled for a hearing in the Assembly Education Committee on Monday afternoon.
The bill also applies to charter schools and gives students the right to speak about religion, distribute literature and organize prayer groups based on the same rules governing secular extracurricular activities and groups.
The proposal also outlines a complaint process for students who say their religious rights have been violated.
