Very well said!! I can remember starting every day with the pledge, a devotion and prayer. Then every 6 weeks, we had an assembly of all the grades in the auditorium which was usually led by a Church of Christ minister. I have never been a member of that branch of Christianity but we all appreciated what he did. He was teaching by example that there was a power greater than us who we should thank every day for this country. We also did song rounds or whatever you call them at these assemblies. We never had any of the trouble that kids get into today. I really appreciate my upbringing. That was just the way things were done back then and believe me, not one person complained about saying the pledge, saluting the flag or having the devotion every day.

A private school may do all this without any legal problems whatsoever. A public school, as an agency of the government, should not endorse any specific faith or groups of faiths. Religion is none of the government's business.

It is clear that you are a student of revisionist history (hiding it self as actual history).

For your info, I went to a public school. Back in the 1800's and 1900's, some schools and churches were the same building. It has just been since the liberals want to take God out of everything that things changed. Frankly, things were a whole lot better the old way. That is one of the reasons, home schooling is so highly rated these days. And, those kids do a whole lot better than kids in public schools. I will close with Red Skelton's words, "May God Bless you and America"!!!!
