A Tennessee high school student claims she was suspended after saying, “bless you” to another student in class.
According to Tennessee outlet WMC-TV, Dyer County high school student Kendra Turner was reprimanded after she said, “bless you” to a student who had sneezed.
"She said [the teacher] that we're not going to have godly speaking in her class and that's when I said we have a constitutional right," said Turner to the outlet.
After Turner defended her actions, she said she was sent to see an administrator and given an in-school suspension. Students in the class later sent the outlet a picture of a list of words the teacher had banned from the classroom. “Bless you” was on the list, along with “dumb” and “stupid.”
The school’s vice principal told local outlet the Dyersburg State Gazette that she thought the situation had been blown out of proportion by social media, although she would not delve into the details.
