One legislative act particu
larly appropriate on the
nations 200th birthday pro
vides every Georgia school
child the opportunity to
recite the Pledge of Allegi
ance to the American flag
each school day. It is the duty
of each local school board,
according to the law, to
establish a policy setting the
time and manner for the
recitation of the pledge. The
policy is to be put into writing
and distributed to each
teacher within the school.
Another bill prohibits any
parent or guardian of any
school child from giving false
information in order to
obtain free school lunches or
lunches at a reduced price,
while still another makes it
unlawful for any person to
disrupt or interfere in the
operation of any public
