Students in all public schools are authorized to recite, at the beginning of each school day, the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and Oklahoma pledge. Patriotic exercises such as these may also be conducted during programs and assemblies throughout the school year. Students have the right not to participate, but nonparticipating students are expected to remain silent and respect the rights of others during the ceremony. 

Students have the right to assemble lawfully and present petitions to the administration. In exercising their rights, students are expected to avoid interrupting the educational process or causing an unsafe environment for other students. The collection of signatures is only permitted before school, during lunch, and after school.
