We stopped reciting that pledge in public school after it was modified
but a couple of teachers said we could recite it without the "under god"
nonsense, so we did. I vaguely recall one grammar school teacher getting
a mild reprimand for for having the kids recite "The Lord's Prayer"
aloud at the beginning of the school day, but that was also stopped.

Once we got out of grammar school and into 7th grade junior high, that
nonsense stopped altogether.

That was certainly not true in the DC public school system (PG
either). We did the pledge and the Lord's Prayer from K to 6.
It was never a home room thing in 7.
I am surprised at your school not doing it in the 50s ... Comrade!
