Our call — vote YES
The measure
Amendment 3 is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment for Alabama public schools. It would require public schools to conduct the Pledge of Allegiance each day and allow student-led prayer to be conducted.
What YES does
A YES vote puts a daily Pledge in every public school and protects space for student-led prayer — students leading, not the state composing a prayer for them.
What NO does
A NO vote leaves pledge practice to existing law and local policy and adds no constitutional protection for student-led prayer.
The math
No fiscal effect was published in the sources consulted, and none is apparent in the text: a daily pledge and permitted student prayer require no new program, staff, or spending.
OUR CALL
Our call: YES.
This protects two things LiberalMind defends: patriotic formation in public schools and the free exercise of students themselves. Student-led means the faith belongs to the students, not the bureaucracy. It costs nothing and coerces no one's conscience beyond the ordinary civic ritual of the Pledge.

Vote early. Research your candidates. Choose the best moderates, whatever their party — no extremism from either side. And encourage your friends and family to do the same.
