Four Long Island teens suspended from Riverhead High School this week for “Tebowing” (the act of getting down on one knee and praying, which is what the Denver Broncos very religious quarter back Tim Tebow does). The kids thought the suspensions were unfair, two of the kids were later taken off suspension.

            Yesterday, more than a dozen students stood outside protesting and now Tebow himself had this to say about the situation: "I think it does show courage from the kids, standing out and doing that, and some boldness. Despite all that boldness and courage, the kids should still listen to their teachers and principal. You have to respect the position of authority and people that God’s put as authority over you. So that’s part of it, and just finding the right place and the right time to do things is part of it, too."

            17-year-old Carroll Connor said this about the situation he was put in:

"It was basically just a tribute to Tim Tebow,” 17-year-old Carroll Connor told the Post. “It was more than a religious thing. There was some of that involved obviously, because he prays. I guess it was basically like a moment of silence. I just don’t think it’s fair."

            Of course, the suspended students' gesture really didn't have much to do with paying their respects to God—it was something more than that. It was their way of showing that they looked up to Tim Tebow and what he represented as not just a NFL quarterback, but as their role model.

            On this topic of “Tebowing” I went around the hallways of Talent Unlimited High School looking for kids who knew about this situation and/or took part in this but sadly, I wasn’t able to find anyone.
