Enacts provisions governing flags displayed in public school classrooms
Referred: Emerging Issues(H)
Summary
The bill would require every publicly funded Missouri school to display the United States flag prominently during school hours and to have the Pledge of Allegiance recited at least once each school day. It also limits the flags that may be shown inside classrooms to the U.S. flag, the Missouri state flag, the POW/MIA flag, or the school’s own flag, with any additional flags prohibited. No student could be forced to participate in the pledge.
