2014 "Bless you" incident
In August 2014, national and international news reported that a student named Kendra Turner had received in-school suspension for saying "bless you" when a classmate sneezed. An assistant principal at the school told news agencies, "I trust the teachers" and "If a teacher asks his or her students to do something reasonable to avoid a distraction in the classroom, then we expect the students to follow the [teacher's] rules." School officials also reportedly stated that Kendra was punished because the comment was used in a distracting way after she shouted it across the room and then was combative with the teacher. In the days following the incident, some students attended classes with homemade T-shirts reading, "Bless You" that supported Kendra.
