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.'""

Its on a list of words and slang, so its not like only religious words were being targeted. The teacher wanted to set up a neutral environment in the classroom, and while I think it was a stupid rule and a dumb way of going about it, there is nothing overtly wrong with it.

As previously stated, she got suspended for disrupting class and being uppity, not for just saying "bless you".

Finally, as stated multiple times, the pastor is wrong...that isn't your constitutional right. Thats not how the bill of rights works...

sorry it is how it works. its public not private property. not allowing or punishing godly speak as she put it is a form of discrimination, i am not talking just about her rules on the board, if she actually said not allowing godly speak in her class that is very discriminatory. The student has every right to stand up for themselves when it's an ongoing issue. Hopefully the principal has decided to step in and talk to the teacher about this now.
