Excusal from Assignments in Conflict with Religious Beliefs

Most schools enjoy a great deal of freedom to excuse students from assignments or lessons that are in conflict with a student’s or a student’s parent’s religious beliefs and practices. Because there is no Federal right for a student to be excused from work, it subject to State law. Because A New Guard focuses primarily on federal law, we can only suggest that the reader collect more information from the state in which they reside. Additionally, and for the same reasons, A New Guard cannot supply its readers with a “Take Action” document.
