School suspends Tebowing students

[red states rule]

More tolerance from the left on display for all to see

I suspect Tebow will be as hated and demonized in the liberal meda and by liberals as Pres George W Bush and Ms Palin currently are

No running in the halls -- and no Tebowing either.

That's what one Long Island administration said Wednesday when it suspended a group of high school athletes for replicating Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow's popular pose in the hallway at school.<!-- begin inline 1 --><!--INLINE MUG-->
<!--END INLINE MUG--><!-- end inline 1 -->Jordan Fulcoly, Wayne Drexel and brothers Tyler and Connor Carroll of Riverhead High School were all handed a one-day suspension Wednesday, after three days of taking a knee with their foreheads resting on their fists, the same way Tebow does in the end zone and on the sidelines. The news was first reported by Yahoo! Prep Rally earlier Thursday.
Riverhead superintendent Nancy Carney said that two of the students' suspensions were later rescinded, citing that administrators found that those students were not given the same warnings that the other two were.

Tebow has made headlines for the move, a display of his devotion to his Christian faith. The students were not suspended for bringing religion into the school, but instead for clogging the hallway.

Clogging the hallway is the crime here... people could have been hurt and it probably stopped the non Christians guys ability to make drug deals, get cheat notes and feel up the passing girls properly.

sarcasm off

like cops ticketing jaywalkers when there's no traffic in sight, what a freaking waste. and smells of making the school a Christian/religious freezone.

pityful

Anyone care to bet if the kids were Muslims NOTHING would have been said or done to the students?

It is the "in" thing these days to openly hate and mock Christians with liberals and the only "god" the left wants everyone to worship is the Federal government

What if these guys were just mocking Tebow?

Then they would have been praised for speaking out against such a radical religious but

and given a fawning interview on MSNBC

IMO a suspension wasn't warranted. However, we doin't allow kids to block up the hallways either.

And the real crime is openly expressing their love of God

That kind of behaviour is unacceptable and must be stamped out when it is seen

First they removed prayer from the public school, Next the Pledge was attacked. Then Christamas came under attack

Now any public expression that you love God is frowned upon

Yes, the left will restore order to the PS system

That's your interpretation anyway. The school says differently.

But the general point that religion isn't allowed in schools anymore is true. AND school officials DO have to walk a fine line because one wrong step gets them sued. So better to say no to a student then get sued.

Only Christian based religion is not allowed in Public schools any longer. Yes, those damn radical Christian kids had to be slapped down for the good of the collective

Bullshit. If Muslim kids were praising Allah in the middle of the hallway it would be stopped.

I'm sure they would be, and they would be as retarded as you claiming that only Christians are barred from blocking hallways praising their god. See, both sides can be retarded. Something you without fail seem to ignore. GO ahead call me a middle of the roader again for not cheering you on at every turn.

Yes, I remember. I was one of them. Vehemently oppose that mosque being built. That is IRRELEVANT to the discussion of religion in school. BTW I happen to believe religion SHOULD be allowed in school but that isn't the way it is.

Oh my I forgot you are also an expert on the education system and now you are an expert on Islamic relations

I guess I should try to remember how lucky we are to have such a diverse expert on so many topics.

[Gaffer]

This still looks to me like a "hey, watch this" moment. It's mockery. Dropping to one knee in a hall way for no reason is just getting attention and a few laughs. It's being disruptive. I'm sure Tebow doesn't walk down the side walk and just drop to one knee and pray for no reason, blocking pedestrian traffic. While Tebow is sincere these kids are just making spectacles of themselves for their own egos. That's not worship that's mockery.

What the fuck are you babbling about? Me saying that the mosque is irrelevant to THIS discussion is in no way , shape, or form me claiming to be an expert on Islamic relations.

Seriously, are you on drugs?
