Other States Where Equal Access Is Allowed and Working

Of the 24 states supporting Equal Access, all rank ahead of Alabama except one. Alabama public schools dropped this year from 47th to 48th in the Nation. New Mexico is the only Equal Access state that ranks lower, and Equal Access was just added there recently.  Top ranked schools are known for being open-minded and thinking outside the box.

We believe it is time for Alabama to think outside the box in this area and others, and start doing everything they can to improve their schools and school-community relationships.
