Another A-hole Teacher pushing PC crap on kids....

But isn't that link from the...... MSM??

Apparently the widespread availability of alternatives has pushed them into reporting all the news... .

If it's true - I don't believe much that comes out of the MSM - the teacher shouldn't have docked marks for it, that's just plain spiteful.

Yeah, the teacher is an overreaching prick.

Nobody cared about this shit when I was in school. Though after one or two times of me responding with "AH HAVE EXERCISED THE DEMONS!", people stopped saying "Bless you" after I sneezed.

Well, he seems to be a right jolly damn douche.
By the way, is "snezzing" like fucking? You know, cause "snogging" is making out. I just figured it's European.

Time for the teacher to lose his job.

This..

Proves it's a personal vendetta.

With all the teachers out there who need work, this ass shouldn't be allowed to continue teaching.

It's one of those phrases that left it's religious roots behind long, long ago and became common courtesy and punishing good manners is just stupid. Given all the school violence out there, seeing some courtesy among students is a good thing.

I don't even see "bless you" as being religious. I use it as a blessing, a personal wish of happiness favored in your direction. To me, it's the same as "have a nice day".

I would bet money that teacher is an over-sensitive anti-theist who is even seeing religion where it isn't anymore.

Or they're just an asshole. Possibly both.

OMG..he's not just an asshole...he's a huge asshole...

He docked everyone in class because one person said it.

That is insanely obsessional over one phrase, don't you think?

It is to the point where I had to go check around online just to make sure it was a real story. It is, but it's just that ridiculous, it almost sounds like it comes out of the Onion. By the by, the source linked in your article claims it was "God bless you", but the statement was actually "bless you". I mean, he's still a twit, but there is a marked difference.

He's quite the asshole, though. To see how well he likes it, I think he should be docked $25 every time he docks students 25 points for extending a courtesy to their fellow classmates.

Why don't they just say "You're sooooo good lookin'!"

Now he's looking for new ways to "discipline" kids who say "bless you".

He has no right to force his views on students. His opinion is this common courtesy is nonsense...but that doesn't make it fact or something he should be punishing students for.

He should stick to teaching health and educating kids before they get an STD or pregnant and worry less about some common phrase.

Well.... while I do recognize he's a douchebag, teachers do/should have some leeway in determining what behavior is appropriate or inappropriate in their class.

I've had teachers that wouldn't let you in if you were a second late, and ones that didn't care when you turned up. I've had teachers that wouldn't let you wear a hat. I've had teachers that made up strict seating plans. I've had teachers that banned phones, others that just asked you to set them to vibrate. I had one teacher that wouldn't let you use a laptop if you were sitting in the back row.

Even a broke clock is right once in a while.

And your time will come one day.

Let's make like a tree and get out of here.

Jumpier than a one-legged man who jumps around a lot.

My ass vapors do inspire spontaneous expressions of religiousity. As in "Sweet zombie Jesus, what the fuck crawled up your ass and died?"

My reaction: Jesus Christ!

As this is clearly a case of religious persecution, I'm sure saying "gesundheit" is perfectly permissible. Right? ... Right?

"Bless you" isn't what I'd say to this asshole. I'd change the verb.

Someone this petty and biased has no business in a classroom.

Wouldn't you just love to take a ball bat to a son of a bitch like that and show him a little manners. Then fire him. Or you could stand up and say "teacher I know you think people saying bless you after someone sneezes something out of their nose is a bad thing but it snot"

Every student in the school should scream bless you at the top of their lungs once every hour just for this shit stain.

He claims it’s not about religion, that it’s about disrupting class. And let me tell you, as a teacher, that there’s a point there.

Imagine you’re giving a lecture. One kid sneezes, quietly enough—in and of itself not disruptive. But then nine kids around him—because they’re kids, and they want to be pricks—decide to scream “BLESS YOU” in blatantly disruptive manners.

There’s also a point that it’s an antiquated, empty expression based on an archaic superstition.

Come on.

Has anyone ever seriously seen anyone be disruptive saying "bless you"?
