This 17 year old girl from Tennessee
was suspended for saying bless you to a fellow student in class.
Well, when you say it like that it sounds kinda crazy, right? As
usual there's more to it than that. There's a teacher at Dyer County
High School that doesn't play that shit and sent Kendra Turner to the
principal's office where she sat for the rest of the day. She wasn't
sent home. Her mother didn't come and get her and have a conference.
She went to the fucking office and sat. “She said that we're not
going to have godly speaking in her class, and that's when I said we
have a constitutional right” Kendra said. Eventually Kendra's
parents met with school leaders and the teacher who gave her the
“suspension” who said that Kendra was being disruptive and
aggressive.
The teacher had already had a posted
list of words that she didn't want used in her class which I'll get
into later. But it clearly shows “bless you” as being one of the
things she didn't want said in her class. Kendra felt differently and
said it was her constitutional right to say bless you because she is
17 and 17 year old's are dumb as shit. I've been learning the
constitution (click here to check that nonsense out) and shit isn't
as cut and dry as people want you to believe. Kids are wearing shirts
that say bless you on them in support of a girl who didn't really get
suspended!
