Oklahoma may be unique in that it makes mandatory the honoring of veterans throughout its public school system.
As part of its Celebrate Freedom Week, which coincides with the week of Veterans Day, each public school throughout the state conducts an appropriate Veterans Day Assembly program. That entails at least one class period devoted to remembering and honoring America’s veterans.
Moreover, schools may choose to have a one-minute moment of silence beginning at 11 a.m. on November 11 or the next appropriate school day.
