There wasn’t any mention of god in the classroom when I started school 70 years ago!

Well, there was for me when I started some 62 years ago, and it lasted all the way through to my baccalaureate service. This was in “godless” coastal California. Will wonders never cease?
Our pioneers held Town Meetings in the churches. It was there or the saloon.
I have made that point before Dale. I started public school in 1951 and graduated in 1963, in conservative southern Missouri and the only time I heard a prayer was at high school graduation, one prayer in 12 years.
It was not that school was hostile toward religion, I never heard anything negative about it. Parents that wanted their kids to learn about God took them to church.
