\n

Two decades after a teacher\u2019s aide was suspended for wearing a cross necklace at school, Pennsylvania lawmakers<\/a> are looking to remove a provision in state law that bars educators from wearing religious garb while in the classroom.<\/p>\n

The Senate approved the legislation by a 49-0 vote on Wednesday. The measure now goes to the House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bill would uphold a 2003 Pennsylvania federal court decision in which an Indiana County teacher was reinstated and provided backpay after she had been suspended for refusing to remove her cross necklace.<\/p>\n

Under the current language in the public school code in state law, an educator wearing religious garb must be suspended for one year and will be fired after multiple offenses. Administrators who don’t enforce the law could be fined and could lose their job.<\/p>\n

The cosponsors \u2014 Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill, R-York<\/a>, and Sen. Judy Schwank, D-Berks \u2014 said Pennsylvania is the last state to strike such language, and that it applies to expression of all faiths.<\/p>\n
