Back to EpisodesAlabama Pushes for Daily Pledge, Prayer, and Star-Spangled Banner in Schools
Description
Alabama State Representative Reed Ingram proposes two bills to let voters decide on a constitutional amendment for public schools to start each day with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer. The bills differ in details like penalty amounts and whether prayer is required or optional. Opponents worry it could make some students feel unwelcome, especially those from minority faiths. The push comes amid Supreme Court rulings allowing more religious expression in schools, with other states like Louisiana requiring Ten Commandments displays. Alabama has more bills in play, facing uncertain futures and likely court challenges ahead.
