What’s in it
AI summary Public and private schools in Iowa would be required to lead the Pledge of Allegiance every school day for students in grades one through twelve. Teachers must also display the United States flag in the classroom while the pledge is being said. Students do not have to participate if they or their parents object, and private schools can skip this rule if it goes against their religious beliefs.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires that school districts and accredited nonpublic schools offer the pledge of allegiance in grades one through twelve each school day and display the United States flag in the classroom during the recitation. An accredited nonpublic school need not comply if the requirement conflicts with the school’s religious doctrine. A student shall not be compelled to recite the pledge against the objection of the student or the objection of the student’s parent or guardian.
Changed since by amendment H-1037; see Amendments.
