Usually I don't have a problem with this stuff, but c'mon - stop blocking the fucking hallway. Douchebags.
-
They shouldn't be blocking the hallway, but pretty dumb thing for the school to do. Most schools have bigger fish to fry than to worry about a bunch of kids take what was probably 30 seconds out to do a mock prayer.

i gotta feeling that if 4 muslims decided to block hallways to pray to mecca, many people here would support their suspensions.
bottm line, keep that religious shit out of school, and get outta my path so i can get to class. Do whatever you want on your own time - worship God, allah, or a grilled chz sandwich, whatever makes you happy. DOn't block the hallways, kids.

Yeah, suspension is heavy handed but get against the fucking locker and out of the way. This zero tolerance shit is getting out of hand in some districts.
-
they could have done the prayer thing anywhere else except "in the middle of the hallway posing for cameras".
They deserve to be suspended for disrupting school. They could have been doing anything - tebowing, praying to mecca, or playing ring-around-the-rosie... whatever they're doing, they are purposefully disrupting school.
STFU and get to class kids. You can circle jerk to your football hero later, we're trying to teach these kids to keep up with the chinese.

Agree.

They had prior warnings and a one day suspension is hardly a big deal

I agree with everything posted. But you have to admit the whole Tebow thing has gotten people talking about chritianity differently. I guess because it intersect with out number 1 sport its become tolerated a bit more by the media and even casual fans. My wife comes in last Sunday at the end of the Dever game because eveybody is now interested in Tebow. She sits down and watched the end of the game and starts to cheer for this guy. My "man cave" is divided into WW2 stuff/prints/books/militaria and the other half is all NE Pats stuff..cards/bobbleheads..shrine to Tom Brady etc etc. She then askes when Denver will be on again and can we watch it together. I told her maybe that won't be a good idea because their playing the friggen Pats next week and I will slaughtering chickens to whatever deity will listen and will be a in a pretty horrible mood, especially if he pulls that bs in the 4th quarter. He's got people talking and I guess its good for the NFL but I cringe every time he mentions God. The NFL is pretty christian friendly anyway so I suppose its ok in the locker rooms etc.

turns out 40 of the kids blocked a hallway in a major way. It's the same as if they were having a sit-in for OWs or to get Simon back on American idol.
They're breaking school rules. Pepper spray them.
-
Yeah..its ridiculous.
-
How long were they doing it? If they were just tebowing for 10 seconds and taking a picture, who gives a shit. If they were blocking everyone for a long time I guess I see the problem. They should have been doing it out of the way of others. i didn't know they were blocking everyone when I first heard the story.

Funny. Good luck keeping the peace on Sunday. :)

40? Damn I haven't heard that yet. They're just kids kneeling so I think detention would probably have been more appropriate than suspension.

they were previously warned not to do it so (IMO) it doesn't matter whether it was 10 second or 10 minutes
a one day suspension is really a slap on the wrist anyway

nbc said only 4 of the organizers were suspended 3 days from school - upon direct violation of an order from the admistration. Hey, you knew the rules, you were warned, and you did it anyway.
The others were warned and got 1 days of ISS (in school suspension) which is nothing more than detention with busy work all day.

how many ramadan protests do you see?
how many atheist going out of their way to target islamic holidays?
Fact is this thanks to morons such as yourself and others specifically the liberal atheist this country is not anti religion, its anti christian.
How many ppl you see getting pissed off about Arian Fosters bow after every touchdown? you know thats a religious gesture?
probably not as the atheist monkeys dont see a problem with that at all b/c its not christian.
-
lol... I knew SOMEONE was going to make this about religous persecution.
These kids were warned not to engage in a mass gathering which blocked school grounds, disrupted things, and placed the school in the national spotlight. That's it. Admin said "don't do this, or you'll be suspended for making the school unsafe".
They did it anyway, and got the punishment they deserved. Something tells me if 40 kids had showed up in "OWS" shirts and pretended to be tents or unemployed drug users, you'd be okay with suspending them?
-
Not denying that but to think you or your ilk wouldn't come to the defense of Muslims that did this is ignorant. The deserve why thy get but let's be adults and understand the situation for how it really is.

They were told not to hold this mass disruption of the school. They did it anyway, they receied the promised consequence. School doesn't enforce the rules, and these kids will be making the hall dangerous every day if they'd like.
Again, I don't care if they're worshipping God, Allah, or the almighty flavor known as "Cheesy ranch" dressing... stop blocking the hallways, kids. It's that simple. They could have waited til after school and tebowed in the parking lot or soccer field with no suspension. They WANTED to DISRUPT the school. It's that simple.

New York Students Protest Outside High School Over 'Tebowing' Incident
Published December 17, 2011
FoxNews.com
The "Tebowing" that reportedly led to the suspension of two New York high schoolers continues as more than a dozen students chanted Tebow’s name and struck his kneeling, fisted signature pose in front of the school Friday, the New York Post reports.
The students gathered Friday as one of the 17-year-old twin brothers who were suspended this week served out his single-day punishment for leading dozens of students in the same homage all week in a hallway.
Twin brothers Tyler and Connor Carroll of Riverhead HS in Long Island and classmates Jordan Fulcoly and Wayne Drexel were hit with one-day suspensions for kneeling and bowing their heads like Tebow does when he scores a touchdown, the New York Post reports.
“It’s not the most exciting day. I sat there. I did my work.” Connor told the New York Post in response to the suspension.
Tyler is set to serve his suspension Monday saying, “I feel like we were kind of singled out,”Tyler, who also plays football and baseball. “If we were told to stop, we would have stopped.”
The weeklong “Tebowing” craze was a distraction and a hallway hazard after dozens of classmates followed their lead, administrators told the newspaper.
“It was basically just a tribute to Tim Tebow,” said Connor, 17, who planned the prank with his brother and friends. “It was more than a religious thing. There was some of that involved obviously, because he prays. I guess it was basically like a moment of silence."
The brothers have to serve their suspensions, while the others were rescinded because the other participants had not been given warnings, officials said. About 40 students had been gathering in the hallway all week emulating Tebow.
School administrators said the stunt jammed the hallway, creating a fire hazard.
“This is not about religious discrimination,” Riverhead School District Superintendent Nancy Carney told the Post. “It is about being sure kids are able to get to class on time and keeping the kids safe and orderly.”
But Tebow himself said the kids should play by the rules.
“You have to respect the position of authority and people that God’s put as authority over you,” Tebow told the media.
“So that’s part of it, and just finding the right place and the right time to do things is part of it, too.
“But I think it does show courage from the kids, standing out and doing that, and some boldness.’’
Tebow has led the once-lowly Broncos on an unlikely winning streak filled with late-game heroics while touting his religious beliefs by praising God to reporters and taking the kneeling stance on the field, the New York Post reports.
