   Gotcha. I recall in elementary school being chosen to do morning announcements, including leading the Pledge of Allegiance. That was back in the 70s.

   ValancyCarmody is correct, though. It is still taught and still done, and even though we have a right under the Constitution to sit it out, kids are still all too often punished if they exercise that right.

   I’m not sure why you’re saying that. Mrs. Bates was dead. There was only a tiny amount of nudity in Psycho and that was the shower scene, which wasn’t her.
