I am writing to ask you to protect the religious freedom of Texas students and oppose House Bill 1009 in Texas. Public schools should remain spaces that respect all Texas families' diverse religious beliefs. Students already have the right to pray, read religious texts, and express their faith at school. True religious freedom means equal respect for all faiths and the right to practice the religion of your choice—or none at all—without government interference. As a concerned Texan, I ask you to vote down House Bill 1009. Families—not government—should direct their children's religious education. Say NO to HB1009 and protect true religious freedom in Texas public schools. Thank you for your time.
