There was more than a little sign of fanaticism at the schools I attended! I remember that, when I was in junior high school (grades 7-9) from Fall 1968 to Spring 1971, there was a Christian bible-study movement championed by the school-band director that started out as an evening meeting once a week and evolved/devolved into sessions in the band director's office – during school hours – wherein some students performed the "laying on of hands" upon others and were "speaking in tongues". It scared me, but not half as much as it scared my Baptist-style fundamentalist parents!

As far as I know, the guy was never criticized by the school or the school board for his actions. About a year after I left for high school, the junior-high band director left the school to become a Pentecostal minister. But who knows how many kids were drawn into Pentecostalism by his "ministry" and how many were driven away from religion altogether.
