The bill introduced in Minnesota, known as the "Student Religious Liberties Act," aims to ensure that public schools respect the religious expressions and activities of students. Key points include:

1. Non-Discrimination on Religious Expression: Public schools cannot discriminate against students based on their religious viewpoints. If a student expresses a religious viewpoint on a permissible subject, it must be treated the same way as secular or other viewpoints.

2. Religious Expression in Assignments: Students can include religious beliefs in their homework and class assignments without facing discrimination. Their work should be graded based on standard academic criteria without penalizing or rewarding them for the religious content.

3. Freedom to Organize Religious Activities: Students are allowed to organize and participate in religious activities comparably to nonreligious ones. Schools must provide equal access to facilities for all student groups, including religious ones, without discrimination.

4. Religious Symbols and Apparel: Students may wear clothing, accessories, and jewelry bearing religious messages or symbols under the same conditions that other types of messages and symbols are allowed.

5. Limited Public Forum Policies: Schools need to establish a limited public forum for student speeches at events, ensuring no discrimination against religious viewpoints and providing disclaimers that such speeches do not represent the school’s views.

6. Guidance and Enforcement: The state's Department of Education will develop a model policy and assist school districts in implementing these provisions. This includes defining events where a forum exists, setting criteria for student selection, and providing necessary disclaimers.

In essence, this bill is designed to protect the rights of students in public schools to express and practice their religion freely, without interference or discrimination from school authorities, while maintaining academic standards and school discipline.
