There actually was value to that, depending on where the bomb went off. The shock wave might shatter glass that would kill you but leave the classroom otherwise pretty much intact. Did you know that there were people who survived in Japan that were directly below ground zero?

We were stationed at a SAC base in the late fifties. I remember having to get under our desks for practice. About the third week I had enough of getting on the dirty floor. I stayed in my desk. Teacher had a come apart. I asked her “Do you really think 3/4 of an inch of wood is really going to make a difference if a nuke goes off?”. Daddy told me to quit scaring the civilians, they believed the government.

I clearly remember that fiasco.
When I hit USN Boot Camp the first ‘ABC’ training/instruction convinced me to never ‘trust what an adult says again’.
Also, remember during the 1946 and 1954 ATests the advice for sailors on the main deck was to button shirt sleeves and collars, wear goggles and don’t look towards the blast area.
I have never KNOWINGLY taken a Flu Shot - I say knowingly because in Nov 1957 we set sail from San Diego to Japan etal in the middle of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC called the ‘Asian Flu’.
Granted my memory a tad ‘fuzzy’ but I am sure I would have recalled ANY of this BullSchiff they are foisting on us today had they tried it then.
