We, the concerned citizens of South Carolina, would like the State Senators and State House Representatives to pass a law amending the SC Student-Led Message Act to permit a brief opening or closing message (2 minutes or less) that is non-sectarian and non-proselytizing in nature.
I have been staring at the draft for this amendment for hours and keep wondering if the phrasing about non-sectarian language is clear enough for the committee members to actually grasp it. Sometimes it feels like we are just shouting into the void, but then I remember how many people have reached out to me with stories about their own school experiences, which is wild because I honestly thought I was the only one obsessing over this.

I honestly did not think this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is wild how fast things are moving now. Sometimes I stare at the screen and just think about how many people actually care about this amendment because it felt like such a long shot when I first started typing it up on my laptop at midnight.

The focus should be on helping students develop their own voice. This is a great step.
