This concurrent resolution is a statement of support expressing that students should have the right to pray in public schools, grounded in religious freedom principles from the First Amendment. It does not change existing South Dakota law, but rather urges recognition of students' existing constitutional rights to engage in private prayer at school. The resolution references the small amendment to §22-42-1 but functions primarily as a legislative expression of values rather than a legal change.
