Seeking to codify current religious expression freedoms into law for students, the Arizona Senate is considering a bill that hopes to clarify misunderstandings among school administrators The Arizona Capitol Times reports:
H2357 would bar all forms of religious discrimination in schools and would specify that students are allowed to wear religious clothing, jewelry and apparel on campus. [Rep. Rich] Crandall said spelling out these rights clearly would help prevent misunderstandings that can wind up in court.
"In their efforts to be so conservative, to avoid any appearance of favoring one or the other, they accidentally make a mistake and cross the line and break the Constitution," said Crandall, chairman of the House Education Committee.
