Kansas House District 11 Representative Ron Bryce is introducing a bill to require public schools to display the national motto in classrooms.

 

This is Bryce's first bill since taking office earlier this year, and he says passing down American values is important to him.

 

If passed, Bryce says the program would not cost the state or taxpayers any money as plaques for classrooms would come from private organizations.

 

Bryce says the cost would likely be less than $100 per school. Some states including Arkansas have passed similar laws require the motto be displayed if signs are donated, while other states simply encourage the action.
