TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — There’s a new legislative proposal that could soon mandate the display of portraits of former U.S. Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in Florida’s public school classrooms.

Introduced as “an act relating to patriotic displays in classrooms,” this bill was filed on Thursday by Republican State Senator Danny Burgess, who represents sections of Pasco and Hillsborough counties.
