 DYER COUNTY, Tenn. (CNN) -- A young girl, who claims she was standing up for her religious beliefs in the classroom, was suspended after breaking a class rule of saying "bless you" after a classmate sneezed. When Dyer County High School senior Kendra Turner said bless you to her classmate, she says her teacher told her that was for church. "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," said Turner. Turner says when she defended her actions, she was told to see an administrator. She says she finished the class period in in-school suspension. Students sent WMC Action News 5's Michael Clark a photo of the teacher's white board that lists 'bless you' and other expressions that are banned as part of class rules. Read More |
