I was about to introduce an ammendment, but I've just realized Ninja already introduced one (which would go first), so here is his ammendment:

Ammendment L 2:04 by Ninja

Quote
SECTION I: NAME
1. This act shall be called the Students Have Rights Too Act.

SECTION II: STUDENT RIGHTS IN PUBLIC PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS
1. Public school districts shall not discriminate against students or parents on the basis of their religious viewpoints or expressions of religion.
2. Students may wear clothing, accessories and jewelry that display religious messages or symbols in the same manner and to the same extent that other types of clothing, accessories and jewelry that display messages or symbols are permitted.
3. Students may express their beliefs about their religion in their class assignments, discussions, and artwork free of discrimination based on the religious content of their submissions. Such work must be evaluated by ordinary academic standards of substance and relevance. If assignments or artwork containing religious viewpoints are shown or made available to parents, the community, or the general public, it must be accompanied with a disclaimer that the viewpoints expressed are those of the student and are not endorsed by the school district.
4. Students in public schools may pray or engage in religious activities or religious expression before, during and after the school day in the same manner and to the same extent that students may engage in secular student-led activities or expression. Students may organize prayer groups, religious clubs, “see you at the pole” gatherings, or other religious gatherings before, during, and after school to the same extent that students may organize or participate in other extracurricular gatherings and groups. Religious groups must be granted the same access to school facilities as other student extracurricular groups.
5. Student-led religious groups or organizations may invite outside guests, such as clergy, religious leaders or parents, to speak, teach, or lead prayers at group meetings. Invited guests must be approved by school administration, pass a school district-approved background check, and not teach or endorse any viewpoints that are contrary to the law or school district curriculum. Guests may not be paid or materially reimbursed in any way by the school district, parent association, or student association.
6. Students who speak in public forums such as assemblies, morning announcements, graduation ceremonies, and sporting events shall be free to express their religious viewpoints to the extent that secular viewpoints would be permitted. Students who speak in such forums shall be selected based on neutral criteria. School districts and individual schools are free to establish time limits and other restrictions that do not infringe student expression. School administrators must provide disclaimers that student viewpoints are those of the student and are not endorsed by the school district through all relevant channels, including but not limited to oral announcement and written disclaimers in in the event program.
7. This act is not intended to, nor shall it be construed to, authorize this region or any of its political or administrative subdivisions to:
a. Require any person to participate in prayer or other religious activities.
b. Violate the constitutional rights of any person.
8. Upon reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, any educational personnel may request consent to search any student's belongings and/or property. The student that would be searched may, if they see fit, refuse consent to any such search. Such a refusal is not to be construed as insubordination. The taking of any disciplinary action by any educational official, as a response to refusal of consent to a request to search, is hereby prohibited. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the right of an educational official to acquire a warrant for any search, to search when a warrant is possessed, or to search when a warrant is not required. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting "probable cause" based searches. Nothing in this section shall be construed as giving students property rights in an assigned locker, desk, or workspace.
9. Section IV of the Lincoln Gun Control Act mandating school employees search every item that enters a school before it enters a school is hereby repealed.
10. No student shall be required to obtain permission to possess lotion or sunscreen while at school.
11. No public school district may prohibit students from carrying bags or purses that are not transparent.
12. Any public school system may allow students in the same administrative district who are enrolled in a lawful home school program to participate in extracurricular activities conducted by the public school system, provided the home school students are subject to the same waiver of liability applicable to public school students.

SECTION III: STUDENT RIGHTS IN PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
1. Every public College and University in Lincoln has an obligation to protect peaceful expressive activities by enrolled students. Any enrolled student who: physically obstructs another enrolled student or their guest from engaging in protected expressive activities or who causes a disruption for the purpose of preventing another enrolled student or their guest from engaging in protected expressive activities, shall be sanctioned by the College. Any student sanctioned under this subsection on 3 separate occasions, shall be suspended from the College for 1 year following a hearing. Any enrolled student who causes a disruption for the purpose of preventing another enrolled student or their guest from engaging in protected expressive activities by falsely pulling a fire alarm, threatening violence, or committing actual violence, shall be suspended from the college for 1 year, following a hearing.
2. Any outdoors public space on a public College, other than roadways, is a public forum. No public College may maintain a speech code prohibiting expressive activities in a public forum, other than enforcing reasonable noise limits between the hours of 11 P.M. and 7 A.M.
3. No public College shall consider the race or religion of any student when determining dormitory assignments.
4. Any student enrolled in a public College in Lincoln who has been accused of a crime, shall be entitled to due process prior to being suspended from the college. This shall include adequate notice of the time of, place of, and accusations being presented during a fair and impartial hearing, the right to attend the hearing with legal counsel, the right to offer evidence to challenge the accusations, the right to make a record or transcript of the hearing, and the right to address the hearing prior to a final decision.
5. No person enrolled in a public College or University who may lawfully own a weapon or firearm shall be prevented from storing their weapon or firearm inside a locked vehicle which is lawfully parked upon the boundaries of a public College.
6. The failure by any public College in Lincoln to abide by these requirements, shall result in a 25% reduction of funding.
7. The following information shall not be subject to Lincoln FOIA laws:
a.) The name, address, any identifying information, and any contact information of any student in a public school or public college in Lincoln.

SECTION IV: ENACTMENT

II.6. Students who speak in public forums such as assemblies, morning announcements, graduation ceremonies, and sporting events shall be free to express their religious viewpoints to the extent that secular viewpoints would be permitted. Students who speak in such forums shall be selected based on neutral criteria. School districts and individual schools are free to establish time limits and other restrictions that do not infringe student expression.

III.2. Any outdoors public space on a public College, other than roadways, is a public forum. No public College may maintain a speech code prohibiting expressive activities in a public forum, other than enforcing reasonable noise limits between the hours of 11 P.M. and 7 A.M.

While it may be surprising and/or contradictory, I could in theory stomach most of this and understand its value. However, II.6 is a bridge too far; it's one thing to allow student-led organizations based around a religion to have speakers representing that religion, but letting students preach to the masses at events where attendance is mandatory I believe crosses a line.

Depends. I support ninjas amendments to morning announcements as those generally should be following a strict non secular guideline anyway but during a graduation ceremony can the valedictorian not thank anyone they wish or bring up most appropriate topics?

Compromise amensments to help get something theough are ok. Im just still trying to figure out how saying individual students can be religious without being punished by schools is "theocracy" or "religion in schools" even when there is absolutely no religious speech or instruction coming from teachers, faculty, or curriculum and no favoritism as to which religion is protected. Saying Sikhs can wear turbans at school is not theocracy. Saying you cant single out religious speech as being absolutely banned for private discussion when no other topic is siimilarly singled out is not theocracy. Can NJ or Pyro provide the missing context as to how this bill creates theocracy?

I'm honestly ok with most of the provisions, it doesn't create a theocracy, it just allows religion in personal/group contexts. The reason why I oppose allowing it in morning announcements is because they are a thing that everyone hears every day, and unlike things such as graduation it isn't personal.

I’m fine with Section II Part 1, 2, and 10, only. The rest of this bill is a thinly veiled attempt to turn Lincoln’s public school system into a theocracy. Private schools, such as Catholic schools, are already theocratic, there is no need to bring theocracy into public schools. Also this bill repeals affirmative action, which is a backward step, which will hurt minorities, such as myself.

How though? What is theocratic about it? You do realize some of what you call theocracy is mandated by the Superme Court right? Schools could get sued if some of these aren't adopted. II 8, 9, 11, and 12 dont even deal with religion.

Edit: also, where does this bill say anything about affirmative action? While I do think it should be eliminated, thats not anywhere in this bill. Did you actually read any of it?

Yeah I agree with that line of thinking. I belive thr can agree with that or will come to a compromise regarding announcements.

Section III Part 3, basically repeals affirmative action

Also people should not be allowed to opt out of searches, that is a safety issue, not a religious one

This has nothing to do with affirmative action. This prohibits segregation. It prohibits whites only housing or black only housing. It doesn't apply to admissions.

3. Students may express their beliefs about their religion in their class assignments, discussions, and artwork free of discrimination based on the religious content of their submissions. Such work must be evaluated by ordinary academic standards of substance and relevance.

4. Students in public schools may pray or engage in religious activities or religious expression before, during and after the school day in the same manner and to the same extent that students may engage in secular student-led activities or expression. Students may organize prayer groups, religious clubs, “see you at the pole” gatherings, or other religious gatherings before, during, and after school to the same extent that students may organize or participate in other extracurricular gatherings and groups. Religious groups must be granted the same access to school facilities as other student extracurricular groups.

Guests may not be paid or materially reimbursed in any way by the school district, parent association, or student association.
6. Students who speak in public forums such as assemblies, morning announcements, graduation ceremonies, and sporting events shall be free to express their religious viewpoints to the extent that secular viewpoints would be permitted. Students who speak in such forums shall be selected based on neutral criteria. School districts and individual schools are free to establish time limits and other restrictions that do not infringe student expression. School administrators must provide disclaimers that student viewpoints are those of the student and are not endorsed by the school district through all relevant channels, including but not limited to oral announcement and written disclaimers in in the event program.
7. This act is not intended to, nor shall it be construed to, authorize this region or any of its political or administrative subdivisions to:

8. Upon reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, any educational personnel may request consent to search any student's belongings and/or property.

The taking of any disciplinary action by any educational official, as a response to refusal of consent to a request to search, is hereby prohibited. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the right of an educational official to acquire a warrant for any search, to search when a warrant is possessed, or to search when a warrant is not required. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting "probable cause" based searches. Nothing in this section shall be construed as giving students property rights in an assigned locker, desk, or workspace.

Goes a bit further than what I would personally like

That tends to be what happened when no one bothers to do their job and debate a bill. I mean we've had like 3 people make ridiculous claims about like 20% of the bills contents prompting an amendment to eliminate 95% of the bill, almost none of which was mentioned at all as to what the problem is. Frankly thats more insulting that just killing this bill, a bill that was ignored for an entire month because the last parliament stopped doing its job. Even when I pointed out to SNJC that he was so wrong about this bill he was basically lying or invited the laborites to explain their outrageously inflammatory descriptions no one ever bothered. Section 3 wasn't even discussed and yet is being 100% eliminated.

This amendment literally eliminates due process protections, protections from warrantless student strip searches, privacy protections for student personal information, free speech protections, bans on racial frickin segregation, neutrality towards religion, school district flexibility over security... i get that not everyone is a libertarian but the amendment to eliminate all those things to avoid debate is fuking madness. Many of these policies are REQUIRED under Supreme court interpretations. I shouldnt even need to point that out since what kind of loon thinks due process, free speech, warrants for searches, and bans on racial segregation are bad? I guess we get to see ...

Well, if they are required by the Supreme Court, wouldn't this bill be mostly unnecessary?

Honestly, reading the ammendment, the only parts I personally miss are II.7, II.11 and III.4. III.3 and II.8 are stuff that I most definitely don't oppose, but don't think are necessary to have in a bill as they are already covered by stuff like the Bill of Rights (both regional and federal)

Pretty much all of section III is stuff that should be left to colleges individually and not handled by the regional government.

I'm absolutely fine with nuking 90% of the bill. I will only genuinely miss 3 points, all of which are fairly minor.
