Know your freedoms.

Boldly live out your faith

Your faith doesn’t have to stay home when you walk into school. Here’s what you're free to do at school, in class, and in your schoolwork.

Start a club

If your school lets other non-curricular clubs meet, it must give religious clubs equal access. That includes voluntary, student-led prayer and scripture reading, plus the same use of bulletin boards, announcements, and school newspaper space.

What the u.s. Department of Education says about religious expression in public schools:

  1. You can express your faith in your classwork and homework.

  2. You can pray, read your bible or other religious text, and talk about your faith

  3. You can pass out religious literature.

  4. You can wear clothing with religious messages.

  5. You can organize prayer groups and religious clubs and announce your meetings.

  6. You can be excused from your school for religious reasons

  7. You may be able to attend off—site religious instruction and have your religious exercises accommodated during the school day.

  8. You can express your faith at school events and graduations.
