Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz will introduce legislation on Friday that would allow students and staff to pray in school without fear of any negative consequences.
The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the legislation, which is titled the “National Prayer in School Act.” Gaetz announced his intention to introduce this legislation at Turning Point Action’s 2023 Action Conference in July. The bill would specifically enforce the Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in favor of religious freedom. The court sided with a football coach who was fired by his school district for using his First Amendment right to pray before games.
The bill would allow every person to engage in prayer in school.
