The bill, known as the Student Religious Liberties Act, aims to protect the rights of students to express their religious beliefs in public schools across Minnesota without facing discrimination. Here are the key components of the bill:

1. Equal Treatment of Religious Expression: Public school districts are required to treat religious viewpoints in the same way as non-religious viewpoints in all student expressions, whether in class assignments or other school activities. This includes homework, artwork, and any written or oral assignments, where students must be graded based on standard academic criteria without bias towards the religious content of their submissions.

2. Freedom to Organize Religious Activities: Students are allowed to organize and participate in religious groups and activities (like prayer groups or religious clubs) on school premises to the same extent and in the same manner as non-religious groups.

3. Wearing Religious Symbols: Students can wear clothing or accessories that display religious messages or symbols under the same conditions that are applied to secular messages or symbols.

4. Limited Public Forum and School Events: Schools are instructed to provide a limited public forum at events where students speak, ensuring no discrimination against religious viewpoints. Policies must include selection criteria for student speakers and disclaimers stating that student speeches do not reflect the school's views.

5. Implementation and Compliance: The bill mandates the creation of a state model policy by educational authorities to guide schools in applying these provisions. It also establishes mechanisms for monitoring compliance and addressing grievances regarding violations.

6. Safeguarding Rights and Maintaining Discipline: The bill clarifies that it does not authorize compulsory participation in religious activities and assures that school authorities retain the power to maintain order and discipline, safeguard safety, and enforce other speech-related policies, provided they do not infringe on constitutional rights.

In summary, the Student Religious Liberties Act is designed to ensure that students can express their religious beliefs without discrimination, while maintaining the freedom and safety of public school environments.
