Students; creating the Students' Bill of Rights; affording certain rights to students enrolled in public school districts or public charter schools. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 788, the "Students’ Bill of Rights," creates specific protections for students in Oklahoma public schools and public charter schools. It guarantees rights including a safe environment free from bullying, an education free from "socialism, communism, or Marxism," no display of socialist/communist symbols in classrooms or school events, religious expression rights (like voluntary prayer and reading religious texts), and protection from punishment for lawful conduct. The bill requires schools to respond in writing within seven business days to written complaints about rights violations and allows legal action with attorney fees for successful claims, though lawsuits about bullying require prior notification and multiple incidents. It directly affects all students, parents, and school districts in Oklahoma public education.
