Promotes patriotism in federally funded schools by requiring Pledge of Allegiance and flag display.
The Promoting American Patriotism In Our Schools Act amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to mandate that federally funded elementary and secondary schools recite the Pledge of Allegiance daily and display the American flag in classrooms and gymnasiums. The act also requires schools to incorporate educational materials on the flag's history and significance into their curriculum. An exception allows individuals to refrain from reciting the Pledge for religious or personal reasons, with no penalties for doing so.
