"God bless you"? 10 demerits.


Pin It A teacher in Vacaville, California stepped so far over the line of "political correctness" that students had points docked for saying "God bless you" in response to a sneeze.
Fortunately the superintendent of schools - John Niederkorn - had sense enough to put an end to that practice. He said, "Certainly a blessing by one individual to another after a sneeze is acknowledgement of a social norm."


Thank you, Mr. Niederkorn!

  1. Most of us don't even say the "God," do we? Seems like I only ever say or hear "bless you!" Pretty funny, though.

  2. The liberal moonbats infesting our classrooms are continually at it. Mr. Niederkorn needs a bouquet of flowers for his common sense.

    I think we should say to people like this teacher, "I'm offended that you are offended by my exercising my First Amendment rights. Since when do you have the authority to deny them?" I'd be glad to take a few demerits on that one.

  3. I swear, common sense has gone so far out the window it's not even funny. I'm glad Mr. Niederkorn spoke up and ended those dumb demerits.

  4. And the crazy thing is that leftists usually brag about how "tolerant" they are and excoriate conservatives (whether religious or political) for being "bigots". Yet they often turn out to be just as bad if not worse than the people they condemn. Make no mistake: leftists are often anything but tolerant or open-minded. Can you say "hypocrisy"?

  5. I swear people are taking this stuff way to far. I guess that there is a lady who paints ornaments for the Christmas tree at the White House. Obama wrote her a letter this year and said it wasn't going to be a Christmas tree but a Holiday tree so please paint the ornaments accordingly and she wrote him back a letter and said, I only paint Christmas ornaments so if you aren't having a Christmas tree you don't need ornaments for the tree.
