PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Support
Senate Journal Page: 839
SB 965 guarantees public school employees the right to engage in religious speech or prayer while on duty, aligning Texas law with the Supreme Court’s Kennedy decision. It safeguards these rights by requiring any limitations to pass a strict scrutiny test, ensuring government overreach is minimized. It also reinforces limited government by upholding individual liberties. For these reasons, TFR supports SB 965.
