Relating to the ability for students to recite the pledge of allegiance.
SB 3024 requires Texas public school students to recite or silently observe the Pledge of Allegiance to both the U.S. and Texas flags once daily in classrooms. It mandates that schools prominently display both flags in assigned classrooms (without requiring public funds for purchase, though donations may be accepted). Parents may excuse students via written request, requiring them to wait outside during the pledge. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
