Anyone Else Say The Pledge And Morning Prayers In Public School?

[Punch The Clown]

I did. I still remember. Bless this house oh Lord we pray, we gather together to ask the Lord's blessing, G_d is great, G_d is good, and we thank him for our food. I remember them all, word for word. I don't remember anyone being offended. When did all this "offense" start? I'm telling you. This country is a shithole compared to when I grew up. People were friendly. Everyone not only had two parents but they knew who they were. We used words like Sir and Ma'am. Obviously the libtards way is not the right way. I wish we could turn back the clock and get it right this time.

Merry Christmas!! That didn't hurt one bit. Merry Christmas! Easy pease. Nothing to it.

Stu, most of this took hold in the90s. I really think I was one of the last people to actually have a clue. Anyone younger than me (under 40) is generally pretty fucked up

I'm 32, we said the pledge, no prayers. But we did sing Christmas songs in chorus, and at assemblies.

We did pray before football games though.

No prayers for me, but the pledge was standard until High School IIRC.

High school was '84-88.

Ditto for me at various schools around Cuyahoga county Ohio.

I went to Catholic schools for grades 1 thru 8, so we did say prayers and the Pledge of Allegiance every morning.
I went to public schools for 9 -12 and it was only the Pledge of Allegiance. Of course that was the 60's and the 70's.

I went to public school in the 60's. Being a member of the tribe I never went to Christmas Mass, but I loved the season. Everyone was happy and friendly. We would see friends we hadn't seen in a while. My parents would bring me the manhattan and we would take in the Radio City CHRISTMAS spectacular, see the tree, check out all the lights. I loved Christmas. Bill O'Reilly would probably bash me because I wasn't celebrating the "TRUE" meaning of Christmas, but spending quality time with friends and family and just enjoying that one time of the year that everyone seemed to be nice and happy and full of hope was good for me.

catholic school. 13 years - K through 12. Every day K through 8 we had pledge and prayer. In high school, we prayed at the beginning of every class - 5 or 6 times a day. pledge was done once a day in the morning over the PA system.
