CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A new bill, HB 2681, proposes requiring West Virginia public school students to learn how to properly handle, fold, treat, honor, display, and retire the American flag as part of their social studies curriculum.
Under the bill, students in grades 8-12 would receive instruction on flag etiquette and be required to pass an exam on the subject each year as a prerequisite for graduation. The requirement would take effect in the 2025-2026 school year if passed.
The bill is currently under consideration in the Legislature.
