“they were saying, ‘God bless you,’ for getting rid of evil spirits. But today, what you’re doing really doesn’t make sense.”

“But I am Muslim and you are mocking my sensitivities”

“A thousand apologies your excellency, please continue to bless the other students”

The teachers and ad. staff at my children's schools knew me by name because I was always there fighting against brain dead decisions. And when one of our sons was threatened with suspension because he was reading a Bible during lunch period another student reported it to the administrators and nothing happened...that day...they called and apologized for the misunderstanding the next. My wife thinks it was because they just didn’t want to deal with me, but, I like to think that I had conditioned them to think.

If he’d only said it in Spanish, nothing would have happened.

Well perhaps this asinine leftist “teacher” should write on the blackboard what the acceptable comments are so the kids will know next time. I mean, if he’s going to restrict their speech, he needs to give them a list all of the words and phrases they ARE allowed to say.

We’ve allowed this problem to get too bad and to go too far. These people are now emboldened and empowered with the election of a Marxist president.

We need to nip this BS in the bud.....

sooner rather than later.

“It’s not…got anything to do with religion,” Wood High health teacher Steve Cuckovich told KTXL News in Sacramento. “It’s got to do with an interruption of class time.”

IS THIS GUY AN ENGLISH TEACHER? It's got to do? Shouldn't that be “it has to do”? It's = It is. WTF? - (Credit to Barack Millhouse Obama)

Cuckovich reportedly took 25 points off the student’s grade - in an effort to deter other students from saying “bless you.”

“The blessing really doesn’t make sense anymore,” Cuckovich explained. “When you sneezed in the old days, they thought you were dispelling evil spirits out of your body. So they were saying, ‘God bless you,’ for getting rid of evil spirits. But today, what you’re doing really doesn’t make sense.”

Cliff Klaven lives. This guy must be great at Cocktail Parties. He would have been thrilled if the kid said “Obama Bless You” I'm sure.

Imagine what he would have done if the boy had said “God bless you”! Waterboarding, the rack and the iron maiden would have been used.

Was it more disruptive than a sneeze? No. Move on.

Obviously the teacher has a person issue. No rational person in this culture would make a fuss.

If he would have gotten disciplined etc for saying “f-— you”, the ACLU would be in his corner in a heartbeat.

Locally, (Stafford County VA), the principal that suspended the ‘banana man’ has resigned. At least ‘they’ said she resigned, there was no ‘hint’ of it till she faced the School Board.

This is definitely Liberalism ‘run amuk’, unless they are hiding a lot of facts (such as he had been ‘pre warned’, or he had caused ‘trouble’ before - none of which has been publicized) she definitely over-reacted when threatening the lad with Expulsion after the incident (wore a banana costume and ran across the football field).

Even the kids mother stood up and said “He may deserve some punishment, but surely not expulsion”.

Then, as an extra added attraction, the Principal started confiscating T Shirts etc that were in support of “banana man’, which, naturally brought the ACLU into the fray, then giving it National Headlines.

Not that it matters because chastising a student for saying, 'Bless you', is just repugnant in a 'free speech' society however, the reason for the blessing is during the sneeze the heart stops beating. More revisionist history.

Steve Cuckovich
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I bet he is a homosexual. ( Just wondering) Are there any underground conservative reporters out there who might know?

And...I wonder if the kid was Mormon.

He basically said "It is not got anything to do with religion. It is got to do with an interruption of class time. What a f#*king moron. Is that unchristian enough for a wad like him?

Blessings are always necessary.

I’ll take all the blessing I can get even if I can’t count all the ones I have already.

I’m just greedy like that.
