Bill > HF3650

This bill establishes the Student Religious Liberties Act in Minnesota. The key provisions include: 1) Prohibiting public school districts from discriminating against students or parents based on religious viewpoint or expression. 2) Allowing students to express their religious beliefs in homework, artwork, and other assignments without discrimination. 3) Granting students the same rights to organize and advertise religious groups and activities as other noncurricular student groups. 4) Requiring school districts to adopt policies establishing a limited public forum for student speakers, including provisions to prevent discrimination against religious viewpoints and to clarify that the school does not endorse the student's speech. The bill also directs the state education commissioner to develop a model policy to assist school districts in implementing these requirements.
