Kyle Whitmire from the Alabama Media Group joins WBHM’s Rachel Osier Lindley to discuss HB1, which would allow “the free exercise of student-led religion in school.” With the passing of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Indiana, religious freedom has become a controversial and highly debated topic in the national media. HB1 recently passed the Alabama House, and is keeping the discussion alive in Alabama.
