1. The fact that she referenced her pastor suggests that she is either a genuine Christian or at least goes to a Christian church (there aren't muslim, jewish, buddhist, hindu pastors). So by saying "bless you" she is implying "God bless you" most likely due to her realization that God does exist and that he could be blessing someone at that moment.
2. The smooth flow argument just sounds like a cover up to silence those who may make the teacher uncomfortable. It is an absolute JOKE that any teacher would think that would be an interruption to the flow. That is like saying you aren't allowed to sneeze because it will interuppt the work flow. And I AM a teacher (a special education one who deals with interupptions from kids all day long and I don't mind someone saying "God bless you!" after someone sneezes).
3. You're saying it is stupid for someone to stand up for themselves and their rights? The day that the defense of our constitutional rights is considered interuption is a sad day indeed.
*I say all these things in love (as someone who is loved by Christ despite not deserving to be so loved) and without any snark or rudeness. It is hard to tell sometimes the tone of someone in type, but I am responding to you in a polite tone.

I think its a stupid rule, but it neither represses Christians, nor imposes on any constitutional rights (read posts from earlier in the thread if you don't understand this part). The student honestly sounded really uppity to me, making a big fuss out of nothing. Its just a sensationalist headline trying to make new where there isn't any.

Its not a one time incident. It has happened enough for several students to talk to their youth pastor about it. And if the teacher did say she won't have Godly speaking in her class than it is oppression. The student responded to the teacher after being educated by her pastor abour her rights.
""She told me that we're not going to have godly speaking in her class," Turner said. "I said, 'well my pastor told me it's my constitutional right.'""

The Pastor is a Moron, the teacher didn't want any Godly talk in class it's his/her rule. Such as no Swear word talking in class.
You can get kicked off property for using words other disagree but you can't get arrested for practicing your constitutional right.
