Texas is first step in a national plan to install ‘chaplains’ in public schools instead of professional counselors

NEWSMARK WINGFIELD | APRIL 20, 2023

A Texas proposal to allow unlicensed “chaplains” to take the place of public school counselors undermines religious liberty, according to Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty and others.

The Texas Legislature is considering House Bill 3614 and Senate Bill 763, which would allow Texas schools to hire chaplains to perform the work of school counselors but without any required certification, training or experience.
