Ledbetter said his grandchild's school doesn't recite the pledge even though it is required by the state's education board, AL.com reported.
Right now, schools have to give students the opportunity to recite it. The bill will change the wording to "shall be conducted," AL.com reported.
The bill moves to the Alabama Senate.
