What a difference a few years make!
On all field trips, picnics, hayrides, skating parties and other off campus bus trips the Black Spiritual--"Do Lord" was sung by both boys and girls. Today such singing might get you expelled or sent to D Hall.
In 1962-63 the US Supreme Court ordered prayer and God out of our public schools. Today, "Do Lord" wont do! When God was expelled from our schools---based on an obscure reference by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to a Baptist Church and he used the "separation of church and state" phrase just once.
Side Note: David Barton has written the definitive work on the results of removing God from our schools. If interested see his "To Pray or Not to Pray" book. It will astound you!
