Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, who is seeking to become the next governor, has introduced a pair of bills aimed at promoting patriotism in public schools.

The first proposed legislation is the Star-Spangled Banner Act, which requires public schools in Arkansas to play the Star-Spangled Banner before school-sanctioned sporting events.
