Prohibits discrimination of students on school property or at a school function based on religious attire, clothing or facial hair

This bill prohibits schools from discriminating against students based on religious attire, clothing, or facial hair required by their faith. It applies to all students on school property or at school events, adding these religious expressions to the list of protected characteristics under existing anti-bullying and anti-discrimination laws. The law explicitly prevents harassment or exclusion tied to religious practices while maintaining existing exemptions for gender-based course requirements under Title IX and disability accommodations under Section 504. It amends education law to clarify that schools cannot deny participation or impose penalties for religiously mandated dress or appearance.
