BOSTON -- Some area lawmakers are supporting legislation on Beacon Hill that would allow students to openly engage in prayer and other religious activities during the school day by defining the students' rights and protecting school districts from potential lawsuits The Joint Committee on Education heard testimony Tuesday on a bill confirming students' rights to express religious sentiments during school ceremonies such as commencement or sporting events Such expressions have happened in the past students have referenced their religion in speeches This year, we've also tried to reach out more to our Jewish community by putting the High Holy Days on our school calendar."
The bill would not permit students to proselytize their beliefs to others , and the schools would issue a disclaimer that all views expressed were the students' alone. The intent of the bill is to protect schools from lawsuits if their students choose to pray. |
