DYERSBURG, Tenn. (AP) — A Dyer County High School student was sent to the
principal's office on Monday morning after saying "bless you" to another
student who sneezed.

Seventeen-year-old Kendra Turner told the State Gazette
() the phrase was on a list of things students were
not allowed to say in that class, including "my bad," ''hang out," ''dumb,"
''stupid" and "stuff."

Assistant Principal Lynn Garner on Tuesday said he could not discuss the
specifics of what happened, but he said there are "two sides to every
story."

Garner also said teachers can set their own classroom rules as long as
they are reasonable.

Turner said she was sent to the principal's office after an exchange with
the teacher and was placed in in-school suspension for the remainder of
that period
