We used to sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" every week in music class. We began the school day with The Pledge of Allegiance and an Our Father too. This was in public school, 1964. The worst offense a student could perform was to chew gum. Even in high school there were no big problems. I believe it was because honoring God and the USA set students on a righteous path.

That's how my childhood went back in that same time period.
