Writes Fr. Seraphim Bell: "I enjoyed the note about the 'young heretics and flag religion.' When I was a senior in high school in 1969, about 4 or 5 of us decided that during the morning pledge, as a protest against the Viet Nam war, we would give the peace sign instead of placing our hands over our hearts. Our teacher was shocked by such a revolutionary display and sent us all to the principal's office. He didn't know what to do, so he sent us to the library and then at 3 pm, after spending the entire day reading in the library, he informed us that we had been suspended for that day and the next. Glad to see that there are still some students acting out a peaceful resistance to the State."
