Prohibit mandatory prayer and teacher-led prayer

A: Paul Sadler supports current law, which allows voluntary prayer by students but prohibits mandatory prayer, whether led by school personnel or not. And clearly voluntary student prayer should not be mandated to follow a teacher.

Support Texas public schools; raised teacher pay 3 times

Paul Sadler served the people of East Texas as a member of the state legislature from 1991 to 2002. He led the Texas House's Committee on Public Education, and passed legislation to raise teacher pay three times and to create the teacher health insurance program. Paul knows that he federal government should return much of its influence over Texas public schools to local school boards and Texas parents. The federal government should support our public schools, not run them. Source: 2012 Senate campaign website, sadlerforsenate.com, "Stand" , Mar 15, 2012
