The Arizona Republic: Religious freedom measure advances
Arizona students would be protected from discrimination based on their religion and free to express their views on campus to the same degree as secular students under a bill given tentative approval by legislators Monday.
Supporters say the measure, House Bill 2713, would merely codify in state law the freedoms guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. They argue the measure would help religious students fight back against public-school teachers and administrators who recoil at the mention of God in the classroom.
