Minnesota SF805 establishes the Student Religious Liberties Act, protecting students' religious expression in public schools.

Minnesota SF805, the Student Religious Liberties Act, ensures students can express their religious beliefs in public schools without discrimination. The act allows students to pray, engage in religious activities, and wear religious symbols. It prohibits schools from penalizing students based on the religious content of their work. Schools must treat religious and secular expressions equally and provide a limited public forum for student speakers.
