Alabama
Alabama's 2026 ballot includes a proposed constitutional amendment that would require K–12 public schools to conduct the Pledge of Allegiance and permit student-led, student-initiated prayer, with student participation voluntary in both cases. The questions raised include the free exercise of religion, the scope of student expression in public education, and the boundaries of state involvement in religious practice.

Analysis in progress
A proposed constitutional amendment that would require K–12 public schools to conduct the Pledge of Allegiance and permit student-led, student-initiated prayer in public schools. Participation is voluntary for both. A question of religious freedom in the public education system.
