                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the flag of 
   the United States should be displayed in each classroom or other 
           similar educational setting in the United States.

Whereas research indicates that many classrooms in the United States do not 
        display the flag of the United States and do not participate in the 
        Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag;
Whereas at an early age, children should begin to develop an appreciation for 
        the Nation and for what the flag of the United States represents;
Whereas the flag of the United States is an important symbol of this wonderful 
        Nation; and
Whereas respect for the flag of the United States is a foundation upon which to 
        build an understanding of the sacrifices made by the Nation's 
        forefathers: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the flag of the United States should be displayed in each classroom or 
other similar educational setting in the United States (particularly if 
the classroom or setting accepts Federal funds) in any preschool 
program (including any Head Start or other early childhood development 
program), kindergarten, elementary or secondary school, or institution 
of higher learning, whether public or private.
