Nikolas Nartowicz [Americans United for Separation of Church and State]
Americans United for Separation of Church and State urges you to oppose HF 2073, which would allow public schools to employ chaplains or approve them as volunteers. You should reject this bill because it will undoubtedly violate the religious freedom of students who have the right to attend school free from religious coercion and to feel welcome in their school regardless of their religious beliefs. Furthermore, students deserve to have qualified counselors. Please see the attached letter for more details.
