Vermont’s state constitution says, “Every sect or denomination of Christians ought to observe Sabbath or Lord’s Day, and keep up some sort of religious worship, which, to them, will seem most agreeable to the revealed will of God.”

But 9th graders Sylvie Daley and Dosia Sanford from Marshfield appeared before a state Senate committee to say that wording is anachronistic and should be rewritten.

The students submitted a proposal that says, “All persons have a natural and unalienable right to worship any deity, god, religious entity or supreme being in any way that they see fit” so long as this doesn’t affect public order and safety.
