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.

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 ...

Once again proving that when someone becomes a school administrator their common sense chip is removed.

The public schools produce graduates who are functionally illiterate and innumerate, no big deal. Some students strike a football player’s pose and it’s a threat to education.

What’s wrong with those people?

It’s a global phenomenon!

Americans give Tim Tebow a job approval rating of almost twice what President Obama has.

the excuse given by the school is that the “Tebowing” was blocking the halls, but it would seem easy enough to give a notice “don’t block the halls if you Tebow.” I think the ACLU wants to make sumfin out of it.

I hope tomorrow every student in the school strikes the same pose during each class change.

Same thing that’s wrong with the Principal who gives a 5 day suspension to a five year old, who displays a “finger gun”.

Zero Tolerance = Utter liberal stupidity.

6th graders from Wellesley, MA middle school were taken on a class trip to a “moderate” mosque in May. The boys and girls were separated and the boys then joined Muslim men in a prayer to Allah. This was a public school field trip to the largest mosque in the Northeast. Teachers did not intervene. Parents were not told.

Reminds me of that one verse the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: “ALL those who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus WILL be persecuted.”

Time to have students in EVERY high school do mass ‘Tebows’!

(They could call it the “Instantaneous Occupy Heaven’” movement...that way, school administrators will let them camp out in Tebow postures for months on end!)
