Iowa HF166 requires public schools, charter schools, and innovation zone schools to display the national motto and the state motto of Iowa. The bill also mandates that each day of classroom instruction starts with two minutes of silent time. This silent time is to be observed immediately before the recitation of the pledge of allegiance, during which the United States flag must be displayed in each classroom. Students are not required to recite the pledge if they or their guardians object.
