Devout Catholic Teachers Who Restrict Language
I have this teacher who, when she hears us say “oh my godâ€, says, “Would Jesus want you saying that? ‘Oh my goodness’ works just fine.†And when we say “shut upâ€, she tells us, “Don’t say that! Say ‘please be quiet’.†I’m in middle school, so it wouldn’t be normal for me to say “oh my goodness†or “please be quietâ€. And to top it all off, she is a very devout catholic! She takes up half of our homeroom time with prayer requests!

I don’t know where you live, but in the U.S., in public schools, she could be easily fired.
Why would she be fired? She’s doing nothing wrong. And “oh my God†is blasphemy, a sin. Please be respectful, you are in a Catholic school aren’t you?
