Enacts provisions governing flags displayed in public school classrooms

HB 1398 requires all Missouri public schools funded with public money to display the U.S. flag prominently during school hours and ensures the Pledge of Allegiance is recited daily in at least one class per student, while explicitly stating no student may be forced to participate. The bill permits classroom display of only four specific flags: the U.S. flag, Missouri state flag, POW/MIA flag, or the school's own flag, banning all other flags. This directly affects every public school in Missouri receiving state or local funding. The law mandates these specific display requirements and recitation practices without adding new penalties or exemptions.
