Christin Bentley: "Prohibits the LGBTQIA/ Pride flag from being flown or displayed in a public school."
SB 762 establishes rules governing the display of flags in public elementary and secondary schools in Texas. The bill restricts schools from displaying any flag other than those explicitly permitted, which include the United States flag, the Texas state flag, flags of historical or archaeological significance, flags representing prisoners of war or missing in action, tribal flags, flags of political subdivisions, military flags, foreign country flags, college or university flags, flags associated with required curriculum, the school's official flag, and flags of organizations temporarily authorized to use school facilities. The bill includes an enforcement mechanism that allows parents or guardians to seek an injunction against schools that violate the flag display rules. Schools are required to address alleged violations within ten business days of receiving written notice from a parent or guardian. If schools fail to comply, parents may pursue legal action.
