More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America in public schools and in open-enrollment charter schools; providing exemptions’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
The bill mandates that public and open-enrollment charter schools in Texas require students to recite, or observe the recitation of, the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States and Texas flags once each school day. Additionally, both flags must be prominently displayed in classrooms, though no public funds are required for their acquisition, allowing schools to accept donations instead. Upon written request from a parent, students may be excused from participating. Following the pledge, a one-minute silence is observed, during which students may engage in silent activities without disturbing others. The bill takes effect Jan. 1, 2026.
