CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yeah I've seen that in lots of movies, I can't recall ever having that in any of my classrooms though.

We'd say that and the Lord's Prayer. This was in the early '70's, and I don't know if it had to do with atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair's lawsuits, but apparently there were legal battles over injunctions or whatever going on. One day they announced we couldn't pray anymore. Within a couple of weeks they said we could start praying again. Sometime later they said we couldn't pray, but we would have a moment of silence. I don't remember how it ended up for us. I assume kids don't pray today.

Texas has it's own pledge of allegiance to it's flag. A few other states have pledges, but Texas is the only place where it's required to be recited by students.

I didn't know that so looked it up. Short and sweet.
Texas Pledge
"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee,
Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."

Personally I'm not a fan of the grammar. In the first line, the subject switches from third person to first person. Oh well.

Those were the days! At one school(late fifties) each class prayed before eating lunch.

"delicious school lunches" - your rarely hear those words together. Must have been an upscale private school.
Cool. Not sure I've ever even seen one of those in real life.

You.d have to have been born in the forties! In the fifties ordinary public schools served lunches. Corn dogs were called pronto pups. Yellow rice and chicken was delicious! Cherry cobbler, etc. for dessert. But Mom usually sent us to school with balogna sandwiches to avoid 35 cents a day for lunch! S"delicious school lunches" - your rarely hear those words together.

See how much the school desk has evolved over time to adapt to the needs of classrooms.

Lol ... We didn't even have the option of buying lunch!
We all brown bagged it ... usually with "baloney", or cheese, or PB&J sandwiches ... but our parents did pay for us to have milk (chocolate
or white) with our sandwiches.

Yes, Mom paid for milk. Chocolate wasn't available. I wish I had asked hubby what the kids had for lunch in the one room schoolhouse he attended! The only information he told me was that he got in trouble for deliberately placing his crayons in a sunny windowsill. He probably walked to school. I wonder if he walked home or to his babysitter's for lunch.Lol ... We didn't even have the option of buying lunch!

In grade school we could buy a tray of food or bring lunch. I have a memory of when I had a ham sandwich and a Jewish friend asked to trade his sandwich for mine because he'd never tasted ham. Another friend was saying not to give it to him because his parents didn't want him to eat ham. I didn't know nuthin about religion or anything so I didn't see the harm. I traded with him.
After school my mom asked me how I liked my lunch. I told her I'd traded her sandwich with my friend. My folks knew he was Jewish so mom said "Ooh, you shouldn't do that. Don't do it again". But my dad was laughing out loud - "You gave your ham sandwich to the Goldstein kid?!" ROFL
One year In junior high they introduced the option to buy bag lunches of cheeseburgers, fries and milkshake. I recall there was some controversy about it with some of the parents, but for me it was YEAH!
