PLEDGE Act

This bill sets rules for patriotic observances in elementary and secondary schools in the District of Columbia. Each school would have to display the U.S. flag in every classroom during the school day and have the Pledge of Allegiance recited at the start of each day. Students would have to stand with the right hand over the heart while reciting the Pledge, and students and civilians would have to stand at attention when the national anthem is played. A student could be excused from the Pledge if a parent makes a written request, and schools would have to tell students about this right and make reasonable changes for students with disabilities.
