Teacher Bans “Bless You” Phrase

Teacher Bans “Bless You” Phrase: A California teacher has banned students from saying “bless you” when someone sneezes in his class.

Health teacher Steve Cuckovick says it has nothing to do with religious beliefs, he claims it becomes a disruption in class and is serious about enforcing it.

He deducts 25 points from student’s grades every time someone breaks the “bless you” ban.

Public school coaches told not to participate in prayer - WSMV Channel 4

Public school coaches told not to participate in prayer - WSMV Channel 4: Some football coaches are in trouble for something they did with their players. They said a prayer.

The newest conflict over Bible studies in homes in America arose in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., where city officials say city code section 9-3.301 prohibits religious organizations in residential neighborhoods without a conditional-use permit, a sometimes very expensive procedure.
