Sigh and remember sumss it up. But at the same time, while I grew up mostly in New York City, I had attended school briefly in a Bible Belt state. They had state-sponsored courses where they told us how awful Catholics were because they “Didn’t believe the Bible.” Jews in NYC treated us better than Protestants did.
So I don’t think we have to go back to that!
