Prayer, Bible lessons and a big red bus: How an Ohio group is bringing God to public school

I guess they are, now. These rulings were followed in NYC public schools when I was a kid. It was called “Released Time”. Every Wednesday afternoon, we were released from class in the afternoon to attend religious instruction at the church/temple of our (parents’) choice. Most kids went and the few “nones” stayed in the classroom and read or did art.

I went to grade school first in CT before we moved to NYC, and there was no weekly “released time” imposed. Church was church and it was on Sunday.

All that being said, I hated Released Time. Sunday was more than enough religion for me. These rulings need to be ended IMO.
