[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 132039, member: 3373"] Graduated from HS in the 60's, don't ever remember religion being taught in the public schools. The big difference was that religion wasn't denied in the schools. We had a Christmas program most likely with a baby Jesus. During Lent no meat was served on Friday's to honor the Catholic's beliefs. There was always a Prayer before Graduation or most other special programs.Wasn't unusual for the 10 Commandments to be posted someplace in the building. Pledge of Allegiance was said each morning prior to class starting. In a public school we never went to any sort of religion class but religion was respected and practiced in many areas. I was involved in many sports and frequently we had a short prayer either prior or after the game. And for lots of us we always prayed before a test. Don't want to be anti-religious but it might have been better to spend more time studying and less time praying in that case. [/QUOTE]
