Promotes American 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 require students, teachers, and staff to recite the Pledge of Allegiance daily. The American flag must be prominently displayed in classrooms and gymnasiums. Schools must also incorporate educational materials on the flag's history and significance into their civics or history curriculum. The act allows for exceptions to the Pledge of Allegiance for religious or personal reasons, with no penalties for those who opt out.
