Back in the day?

Full story: Vallejo Times-Herald

I'm a little puzzled by Pastor Brown's comment . He says, "it was not too far in the distant past ... when schools opened their day with the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer." I am 73 years old, attended public schools in Michigan, Kansas and Wyoming.

Yes, but "back in the day" we did recite the pledge of alegiance in public schools. What to that "old timer?"

I graduated from H.S. in 71. We did open with the Pledge of Aliegience and prayer was allowed in class but not mandated. When I was in the 3rd grade in Sacramento, the entire class prayed because John F. Kennedy had just been assassinated. It was broadcase on T.V. right in the classroom. Between the crying and sadness, we all prayed. Nobody complained.
