No, logic tells me the student is lying or at the very least embellishing a very great deal.

Should have maybe tried “Got Zu Heiht” or in fractered American"GAZUNDTIGHT!". The Teacher/Administrator wouldn't have understood what was said.

I guess “Bless your heart” is right out then.

“I bet the teacher and everyone involved are feeling pretty embarrassed and stupid right now. Not including, of course, the fact that they have to scorn of a large percentage of the American population.”
You would think, but the liberal teachers I know would be proud. They don’t have the intelligence to know when to be embarrassed.

Perhaps you should watch the video.
The teacher has a whole list of banned worlds, Including Stupid, Dumb, Boring, Stuff, Hey You, Hangup, I don't Know and so forth.
Teacher does not require silence in her class, she requires you to eschew honesty.
Because I am pretty sure that "Stupid, Dumb, Boring," describes this teacher to a T

I saw the poster on another news site. There was nothing to show that the list was from that class (which was a keyboarding class) or that it was a list of banned words. The supposed banned “bless you” appeared under the category of “Other Peer Expressions” this strongly indicates that words were part of an in class exercise or assignment.
There have been enough people who have verified that the teacher requires silence during class time. I have no doubt the student created a disturbance then showed her butt (that’s an expression) and got called on it. She lied and I have trouble understanding how any sensible, intelligent adult cannot see this.

Did you miss the part where there is nothing that shows the poster is a banned word list or is even in that classroom? Why would a keyboarding class have such a list? Why would some of the “banned words” be categorized under “Other peer exressions”?
Use some logic.

The teacher is lying and I have trouble seeing how a sensible adult would not see that.
I know that for some people the teacher is always right but it is clear that with other students coming forward with the same story that the girl is telling the truth.

Other students have contradicted Turner and supported the teacher. I go by the evidence, which is on the teacher’s side.

I apologize. I didn’t mean the last part of what I said, at least not the way I said it.

Should have maybe tried Got Zu Heiht or in fractered American"GAZUNDTIGHT!"Rather than being a fractured form of "Got zu heiht" = "God to ???",
"gesundheit" = "gesund" (healthy) + "heit" = "health" or "the state of being healthy".
