A House lawmaker said Monday he plans to file legislation creating the Religious Viewpoints Anti-Discrimination Act.

The bill will seek to create a level playing field for religious and nonreligious expression in Oklahoma public schools, said Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City.

The bill will also make schools adopt new anti-discrimination policies covering student expression, student speakers at nongraduation events, student speakers at graduation ceremonies, religious expressions in class assignments and freedom to organize religious groups and activities.

The legislation will be considered at the next legislative session beginning in February.
