Republican Bill Goes Further

#While Calhoun's bill does not suggest a fine for non-compliance, another a bill authored by State Rep. William Shirley, R-Quitman, would impose a fine.

#Shirley's bill, House Bill 172, would impose $1,500 fines on schools for instances in which they do not require teachers to have their classrooms recite the Pledge of Allegiance within the first hour of class.

#Like Calhoun's bill, Shirley's bill allows for students who object to excuse themselves from reciting the pledge.
