Summary

The bill would mandate that every publicly funded school in Missouri prominently display the United States flag during school hours and show the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence in their original format. It also requires each school to have the Pledge of Allegiance recited at least once per day in a scheduled class, though no student could be forced to participate. The measure aims to increase exposure to core national symbols and texts for all students.
