When a Massachusetts second grader was asked to sketch something that reminded him of Christmas, he drew this:
The elementary school, in complete bureaucratic overreaction, decided the stick figure image of a crucified Jesus was violent and required the child to undergo a psychological evaluation.
I know more than a few people who wear something similar in gold around their necks. I guess they should all go see the school psychologist too...
I agree with those who say this has nothing to do with a war on Christmas or an attack on Christianity. It's just another dumb safety policy that does nothing to make people safe.

ReplyDeleteThere is a whole other side to this story in the Boston Globe: Taunton officials dispute reports on Jesus sketch.
