Florida lawmakers are considering HJR 583, and Moms for Libros is asking parents and community members to take action.

Students should be free to practice their faith, and no child should be punished for religious expression. But public schools must not become a place where one religious ideology is elevated, promoted, or pressured onto others.

Public schools serve families of many faiths and families with no religion. Our schools should remain welcoming and neutral for every student, no matter their background or beliefs.

That’s why we are urging legislators to add clear safeguards to ensure religious freedom never becomes religious pressure in public schools.

What We Believe

As parents, we want our children’s public schools to be places where every student feels safe, respected, and included.

✔ Students should be free to practice their faith
✔ No student should feel pressured to participate in religion
✔ Public schools must remain neutral and welcoming for all families
✔ Student rights should be protected without school-sponsored religious messaging

Why This Matters

Even when something is described as “voluntary,” students can still feel real social pressure to participate, especially when it happens during school routines or school-sponsored events.

When public schools blur the line between student expression and school endorsement, it can create an environment where some students feel singled out, excluded, or pressured to conform.

A welcoming school means every student belongs.

What We’re Asking Lawmakers to Do

We are calling on legislators to prioritize safeguards that:

• Protect student religious expression

• Prevent coercion or pressure (direct or indirect)

• Keep public schools neutral and welcoming for every student

• Avoid school-sponsored religious messaging

Vote NO on HJR 583 unless it is amended to ensure public schools remain neutral, welcoming, and free from religious coercion.
