One of the delights of New Haven in those days was the mish-mash of
cultures and religions, to the point where no group or sect really
dominated. The public schools did close, though, on the Jewish high
holidays, for which everyone was thankful!
The only kid in my grammar school days that didn't do "the pledge" quietly
stood in the back of the room while the rest of us went through the morning
ritual.
I remember asking him one day why he didn't do it. (this was like 5th
grade) He told me he was a Jehovah's Witness and they didn't believe in
it.
I didn't know what a Jehovah's Witness was from the man in the moon, but I
thought it was cool and said, "Ok".
