I think I was in 7th grade. We were watching. Right in front of our eyes and could hardly believe it. Everyone inhaled sharply and then a couple of short screems, then silence. After a good 5 minutes, our teacher came to his senses, turned off the TV, and started talking about being right with god because you never know when it's your turn.

Sad thing is, it likely reinforced the already strong indoctrination of a handful of those kids

I realized something was "off" when I found out that they counted my donations and sent me a letter saying that I was behind.

K through 8th grade and then I dipped.
