SB 11 - Prayer in Schools

SB 11 supports both family values and fiscal responsibility by giving local communities the choice to allow prayer and Bible reading in schools while ensuring participation is completely voluntary. It respects parental authority by requiring a signed consent form, allowing families to decide what is best for their children. The bill also protects religious freedom without disrupting education, reinforcing the fact that faith and morality play a key role in raising responsible citizens. From a fiscally conservative standpoint, it prevents unnecessary lawsuits by ensuring the Texas Attorney General defends schools that adopt the policy, saving taxpayer dollars. For these reasons, TFR supports SB 11.
