HB0159

Safeguards free expression for students in K-12 public schools, prohibiting discrimination based on religious, political, or ideological viewpoints.

Wyoming HB0159 ensures that students in public K-12 schools can express their religious, political, or ideological viewpoints without discrimination or penalty. This includes activities such as organizing clubs, wearing symbols, and participating in assignments. Schools cannot limit these expressions unless they are disruptive or offensive. The bill also provides legal remedies for students whose rights are violated, including monetary damages and attorney fees. The act is designed to protect free speech while maintaining school operations and academic standards.
