NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Remember reciting the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in school? Well, for some Louisiana kids, they might be adding something else to start their day; the Declaration of Independence.

The Louisiana House voted in favor of students, grades 4-6 to recite a portion of the Declaration of Independence every morning.

But unlike the Pledge of Allegiance, where students must be given the opportunity to recite, but it is not mandatory, the reciting of the Declaration of Independence will be mandated.

The bill will now head to the Louisiana Senate.
