KFSM:
A Republican Oklahoma lawmaker has proposed legislation that would allow teachers to be sued if they promote contradicting religious beliefs held by a student.
Senate Bill (SB) 1470 was proposed by Senator Rob Standridge and is dubbed the “Students’ Religious Belief Protection Act.”
“No public school of this state, as defined pursuant to Section 1-106 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, shall employ or contract with a person that promotes positions in the classroom or at any function of the public school that is in opposition to closely held religious beliefs of students,” Standridge’s proposal reads.
