‘God Bless You’

To the Editor:

As a retired public school teacher for 32 years, many times a polite student would say, “God Bless You” to another student or me, when we sneezed.

Imagine, I read recently where a middle school student was asked to “leave” the classroom for saying, “God Bless You” to another student for sneezing. The teacher’s reasoning for the expulsion was “we don’t allow God to be mentioned in my classroom!”

Has this country of ours gone insane? I think so. “Political correctness” is destroying our nation. I pray to God we come to our senses before “We the People” self-destruct.

Without God in the equation, this great nation of ours is doomed!

    God bless you, Richard D. Walsh. I strongly suspect that this evil and malicious WAR ON GOD is not coming from the traditional New Deal Democrat Left. Much of it is inspired by reactionary Ayn Rand-ism. The atheist author of " The Virtue of Selfishness " was so much of a crackpot that conservative Catholic William F. Buckley wanted nothing to do with her. A haughty contempt for the majority of religious humanity is no way to make this sad miserable world a better place. The NEW ATHEISM is also inspired by the likes of ex-Trotskyist, Islamo-phobe Christopher Hitchens. These so called left-wing atheists hate God more than they love the common people. They no doubt hate Pope Francis- who takes Catholic social philosophy seriously. A socialist, I greatly respect my Catholic Heritage and had no problem with that PRAYER ON THE WALL at Cranston West- whatever " Uncle Atheist ", Steve Ahlquist, found so offensive about it. Most public school teachers are easily frightened sheep, sad to say. ( http://radicalrons.blogspot.com/ )

    Doubt that this story is true. Where did you read this? Sounds like an internet hoax.

    citizen-The incident occurred in Tennessee and was well publicized. The girl served time in in-school suspension. Anyone who doubts a creeping antipathy to Christianity in government-run schools is simply not paying attention.
