Relating to a provision in a school district's student code of conduct prohibiting the wearing of clothing or displaying of items indicating membership in or support of certain organizations.
HB 340 would require public school districts to include a provision in their student codes of conduct that bans students from wearing clothing or displaying items indicating membership in or support for certain organizations. This rule would directly affect students in public schools by restricting specific types of expression during school hours. The bill does not specify which organizations are covered, so the exact scope of the prohibition remains undefined in the provided information. The bill was recently referred to the Public Education committee for further consideration.
