Proposing a constitutional amendment to allow towns and religious societies to elect their own teachers of piety, religion, and morality.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow towns, parishes, bodies corporate, and religious societies to elect their own public teachers of piety, religion, and morality. It also ensures that no person is compelled to support a teacher of another religious persuasion. The amendment would be submitted to voters at the 2026 general election, requiring a two-thirds approval to take effect. If approved, it would grant these entities the exclusive right to elect their own teachers and contract for their support and maintenance.
