What, exactly, is so dangerous about Amendment 2? Religious freedom is already well protected in the state. This measure would put Missouri’s constitution in conflict with the U.S. constitution, and lead to expensive and endless lawsuits paid for by Missouri taxes. The amendment would damage public education as well. Students would be able to refuse to complete school assignments, or even opt out of entire classes, that they oppose. Amendment 2 would coerce prayer in public schools, and make students of minority religions and non-believers feel like outsiders in their own schools. The amendment is so broad and misleading that these are just a few of the threats to religious freedom that could result from its passage.
