Same thing in NYC pubic schools! I remember being absolutely terrified that my family would all die because we didn't have a fallout shelter! Guess I was 10 or 11, and it was during this horrible time that the RC Church we went to began the recitation of "The Memorare" after every Mass. We were praying for the conversion of Russia, and the end of hostilities.
