Supporters of a Mississippi bill that would legalize school prayer say the measure would ensure religious liberty. Both the state House and the state Senate have passed versions of the Schoolchildren's Religious Liberties Act, but they have to agree on a single bill before anything would go to Republican Gov.

The same measure led judges to strike down a previous Mississippi law allowing student-led prayer, the AP reports.
