The display of the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag and the pledge of allegiance to the Texas flag in public school classrooms

Texas House Bill 3152, introduced by Representative Lacey Hull on February 21, 2025, aimed to mandate the display of both the United States and Texas pledges of allegiance in public school classrooms. The bill was referred to the House Public Education Committee on March 20, 2025, but did not progress further and ultimately died in committee.

Supporters of HB3152 argued that displaying both pledges in classrooms would foster patriotism and a sense of state pride among students. They believed that this initiative would reinforce civic values and respect for national and state symbols within the educational environment.

Critics of the bill contended that mandating the display of pledges could infringe upon individual freedoms and the separation of church and state. They expressed concerns that such requirements might alienate students from diverse backgrounds or those who hold different personal beliefs, potentially leading to feelings of exclusion or discomfort.
