patriotic youth groups; school access
SB 1370 allows public school principals in Arizona to permit patriotic youth groups to address students during regular school hours in the first quarter of each academic year, following a request submitted within the first two weeks. Principals may also accept materials from these groups for direct student distribution on school property after reviewing them. The bill prohibits schools from denying equal access or discriminating against such groups based on membership criteria or oaths of allegiance, defining "patriotic youth group" as organizations serving under-21s with educational patriotism goals (e.g., groups listed in specific federal codes or their state affiliates). It establishes clear procedures for school access while ensuring non-discrimination for qualifying groups.
