But 'Gesundheit' Is Acceptable. Why?

A girl allegedly got suspended for saying "bless you" to a classmate after a sneeze. It was a challenge to a rule against using certain terms in class, with a list on a whiteboard of things you can't say, along with "stupid," "boring,' "my bad," and "I don't know." Stupid, yes, all around. Suspension for saying "bless you," though? That's not a religious thing, that's just a common sense thing. It's harmless, therefore it shouldn't be arbitrarily punished.
