The "Religious Rights at Public Schools Act of 2025" aims to affirm and clarify the religious rights of students and employees in public schools and open-enrollment charter schools in Arkansas. The bill emphasizes that religious freedom is a fundamental right protected by both state and federal law, and it outlines various rights that students and employees retain, including the ability to pray, express religious viewpoints, and engage in religious activities on school property. The act mandates that each public school district and charter school provide a copy of this act to every enrolled student and employee at the beginning of each school year.

Additionally, the bill specifies that individuals in public schools can possess and read religious texts, display religious materials, and participate in religious observances, similar to how they would engage in other non-religious activities. It also allows for the inclusion of religious texts in school libraries and the offering of academic courses on the Bible. The intent of the General Assembly is to inform residents about these religious protections and affirm that students and employees have rights that extend beyond those explicitly listed in the act.
