EDUCATION – Adds to existing law to allow public schools to display only certain flags and banners on school property and to prohibit schools from displaying certain flags and banners.

This Idaho bill (H 10) requires public elementary and secondary schools to display only specific flags and banners on school property, effective July 1, 2025. Schools may show the U.S. flag, Idaho state flag, other state flags, military flags, school mascots, and achievement awards, but must remove all other flags. The law explicitly prohibits displaying any flag or banner representing a political viewpoint, including those related to political parties, race, sexual orientation, gender, or political ideology. These changes directly affect all public schools in Idaho by restricting their flag displays to non-partisan, official, or educational symbols.
