SENATE BILL 1362
Education (House)
Public schools, flags
EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to allow public schools to display only certain flags and banners on school property and to prohibit schools from displaying certain flags and banners.
RS31307C1 / S1362
The classroom is a place to foster education and to do so, students should be comfortable and free from partisan politics. Personal political beliefs disrupt the classroom and make students uncomfortable, feel unwelcome and open the door to bullying if they are in the minority mindset. Third party flags are an open political statement and do not belong in the classroom.
There is no projected fiscal impact from this legislation as it does not require financial changes to affected agencies.
