The article and video are on from this website: http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/7357978/high-school-athletes-suspended-tebowing
According to the article, written by Christopher Hunt, a group of high school students were suspended because they replicated Tim Tebow's popular pose in the hallways of their school. The four boys-Jordan Fulcoly, Wayne Drexel, and brothers Tyler and Connor Carrol- were given a one day suspension from school "after three days of taking a knee with their foreheads resting on their fists, the same way Tebow does in the end zone and on the sidelines". The superintendent of the school system said that the students were not suspended for bringing religion into school but for blocking the hallways. The students claimed that they did it only as a joke, paying homage to one of the NFL's best role models. District officials told the student that Tebowing was making it unsafe for students walking in the halls in between classes. I found this very funny because I don't understand how anyone could get hurt from kids kneeling down in the hallway. This article was very funny and based on the information that Hunt presented, the superintendent didn't really have a reason for suspending the students other than the fact that they had been told to stop not once, but twice. If this was true, than the worst justifiable punishment would be a detention.
I found this article hilarious. Hunt appeared very sarcastic throughout the article and appeared to be against the suspension. He seemed to be on the high schoolers side, and, in a way, he questioned the reasoning for the superintendent's decision. It was exactly the way I felt about the incident. Hunt's sarcastic tone made the article enjoyable and i like how he wrote the article as if the incident was a really big deal...cause it really isn't.

This superintendent is full of crap, obviously she's just not a Tebow fan.
