You vill obey the rules

Kendra Turner was brought up right. She’s the kind of kid who says “yes sir” and “no ma’am.” She was "raised up right," with good manners as they are prone to say around Dyersburg, Tennessee.

So it was not out of character for Kendra to say “bless you” after a fellow classmate sneezed. But that common courtesy landed the 18-year-old in hot water.


Kendra said she was rebuked by her teacher at Dyer County High School and thrown out of class for violating the teacher’s ban on the words “bless you.”

“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,” Turner told Memphis television station WMC.

Another student sent the television station a photo taken inside the teacher’s classroom showing a list of banned words. Among the censored words are "dump," "stupid," "my bad," "hang out" and "bless you."

You think the teacher is a bed wetting liberal?

I thought this was going to be a thread where you ripped into the members who were name calling on that other thread.

I'd bet the farm and all the livestock.

It's so, so sad to see where our country is headed.

I know Dyersberg, it is what was once known as the Bible Belt, and if this is happening in places like Dyersberg Imagine what the Left has done to the rest of the Country.
