The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Rob Standridge, a Republican Senator from Oklahoma, has introduced a religiously inspired bill to the Oklahoma Senate known as the “Students' Religious Belief Protection Act.” The bill seeks to penalize educators who oppose students' "closely held religious beliefs." Senate Bill 1470 includes an avenue for legal sanctions that will cost teachers a minimum of $10,000. The bill's cruelty goes further in the financial retribution, demanding that anyone found guilty of violating the bill will have to "make payment from personal resources and shall not receive any assistance from individuals or groups." Any teacher who cannot manage payment is immediately fired and barred from teaching in the state for a period of five years. The bill also recommends sweeping responsibility to school officials and staff if the school does not “immediately comply." The bill states that non-compliance with a court order according to this bill by anyone who directly or indirectly promotes opposition to a student’s religious beliefs will be permanently banned from being affiliated in any way with all public schools in Oklahoma. According to Peter Greene, a former educator and a Forbes senior contributor, the bill will most likely not pass as a law as it has no current co-sponsors and is ripe for legal challenge.
