When I went to school in the Paleolithic Age, we had Grades 1 to 6 as primary school; grades 7 to 9 as junior high school, and grades 10 to 12 as high school. We had 4 Merit scholars in our small city high school in a red state. Back then we had devotions every day in grammar school, led by the teacher. Our high school had a Bible class and all school meetings in the auditorium began with a prayer. Sports events began with the National Anthem and a prayer.

I had a teacher I recall from the 4th grade at Rusk Elementary in El Paso. This was in the late ‘60’s. We started with the Lords Prayer. She told us the Supreme Court said it was illegal, but it did not mater because we were in Texas.
