North Carolina S312 mandates daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in schools and meetings.
North Carolina S312, known as the Stars and Stripes Commitment Act, requires public schools to schedule daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance within one hour of the start of the school day. It also mandates the display of the United States and North Carolina flags in classrooms when available. Additionally, the act requires age-appropriate instruction on the meaning and historical origins of the flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. Importantly, these policies do not compel any person to stand, salute the flag, or recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
