‼️‼️THIS IS THE BILL CHANGING TEXAS FROM A MAY TO A SHALL STATE 📢📢📢📢
“…SB 1049, would require public schools to accommodate students pursuing religious instruction elsewhere, off school grounds, during the school day. SB 1049 would leave schools with no choice but to allow this interruption to their educational programs and schedules, as long as a student’s parent or legal guardian submits a written request to their school.
This type of “release time” bill, too, has been a recurring theme over the past few legislative cycles, and OPP has lobbied against similar bills in several states. SB 1049 stipulates that Texas schools must accommodate between one to five hours of release time per student per week, depending on school policy. This would disrupt school schedules and hamper students in obtaining their educational goals by limiting valuable instruction time. The public school day is meant for learning science, civics, math, and literature, not for supplementing Sunday school.”
