Summary

A national "Religious Education Week" designation to highlight religious instruction's role in civic and moral development. This resolution would designate September 27 through October 3, 2026 as "Religious Education Week" and affirm the First Amendment right to free exercise of religion. It celebrates sectarian schools and released‑time programs, cites that about 4.4 million children attend sectarian elementary and secondary schools and about 540,000 public school students participate in released‑time programs, and references Pierce v. Society of Sisters and Zorach v. Clauson. *The resolution is ceremonial and would have no federal budget impact.*
