Amendment requiring Pledge of Allegiance and prayer in schools headed to Alabama voters

[RandySF]

The Alabama Senate on Wednesday passed a bill requiring schools to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and allowing students to initiate and lead school prayer.

HB 511, sponsored by Rep. Reed Ingram, R-Pike Road, is a constitutional amendment that would allow student-led and student-initiated prayer within public school classrooms.

The upper chamber passed the amendment with no discussion. The amendment passed the House 94-4 on March 10 after nearly two hours of debate.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, students are allowed to pray in school provided it is not disruptive to school activities. After being amended, it was unclear how the bill would change or challenge existing law.
