[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 466972, member: 3419"] Interesting post, Pasajes4. Sheesh! Flutterby, I'm a nonbeliever, too, and "Bless you" is indeed a nice thing to say. by the way, Geshundheit means pretty much the same thing, but I'm betting that teacher isn't bright enough to know that. Good for the students! (And I can just imagine the mayhem with-all those fake sneezes, lol!) This is political correctness run amok for sure. At least the students learned a lesson they will not soon forget. It would have been okay if the teacher said, "Oh, that' reminds me, in medieval times. people used to bless the spirits away. Isn't that interesting?" But noooo, she had to assert her authority rather than TEACH. [/QUOTE]
