Iowa SF2300 modifies education provisions to protect students' religious, political, and ideological speech and expression in schools.

Iowa SF2300 amends education laws to protect students' rights to religious, political, and ideological speech and expression in schools. The bill mandates that school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools allow students to engage in such speech without discrimination or penalty. This includes expressing viewpoints in class, school work, and other activities. Schools must annually notify employees of U.S. Department of Education guidance on religious expression and offer related professional development.
