Maddy summaryHB 187 would require Ohio public school districts to schedule a daily moment of silence for prayer, reflection, or meditation on moral, philosophical, or patriotic themes, instead of allowing them to choose whether to do so. This applies to all K-12 school districts and specifies that participation must be voluntary, with no student required to join, including if it conflicts with their religious beliefs. The bill also prohibits school policies that promote religion or restrict students’ free expression of religious beliefs in schools. It repeals the current optional language in Ohio law to implement this mandatory daily practice.
