The bill proposes to repeal the existing section 171.021 of Missouri law and replace it with a new section that outlines specific requirements for public schools regarding the display of certain documents and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Under the new provisions, all public schools that receive public funding must display the United States flag prominently during school hours. Additionally, the Pledge of Allegiance must be recited at least once per school day in a scheduled class, although students cannot be compelled to participate. Furthermore, the bill mandates that public schools display three key historical documents: the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. Each of these documents must be printed and framed in their original size and format, and they should be placed in a prominent location that is easily accessible to all students. This new requirement aims to enhance students' awareness of foundational American principles and documents within the educational environment.
