The kid was supposed to draw something Christmas related. He should have put presents under the cross to make it Christmassy.

Heh i used to draw even worse pictures when i was a kid.
[QUOTE=Fps_Deffy;18970446]fuck, the kids 8.... who cares?[/QUOTE] I was going out hunting with a rifle when I was 6 bro
Also when I was his age I used to draw things like people getting shot in the head.

[QUOTE=Perfumly;18970544]Also when I was his age I used to draw things like people getting shot in the head.[/QUOTE]I looked though all my old notebooks from elementary school (my parents insist on saving them), and it appears that I was too obsessed with Pokemon, because almost every one of my drawings resembled the towns and cities from Pokemon Red.
I used to draw decapitated people, dismembered bodies, mutilated corpses, cannibalism and massacres in 4th and 5th grade. Went for a psych evaluation, they put me on Ritalin. I asked me mom 6 years later. So what did they think of me in 5th grade? She said, they thought I was going to kill people and blow up the school, I lol'd. Now I work as an Information Systems Specialist for the government. I still draw dead people.

I wonder what they'd do to Mel Gibson for filming the Passion of Christ.
That's not that bad, i usually draw him with several nails through his skull, his cross in flames, and several of his Deciples standing watching.
Lol religion

that's pretty retarded

I applaud the school board. The kid was obviously volatile and could have snapped at any moment. You complain now, but if they hadn't taken action, one day he'd have nailed his entire class to crosses.
[QUOTE=Perfumly;18968628]SeE GUYS I KNEW IT[/QUOTE] Spectacular prediction my good sir. :golfclap:
I find it baffling how idiotic and sensitive people have come with things like this. Anyone with have a brain could probably piece together what this child meant with this drawing. Now if he drew something like a crucified cat impaled and blood spewing out, then yeah that could cause some alarm and maybe some further looking into, but not this. I agree with the father here. The school completely blew things out of proportion when unnecessary.
In MY elementary school they MADE us draw jesus on the cross. I always drew satan blowing shit up with his army of minions. Whenever they called my parents in for a meeting, they would pray for me :v:
I went round to freedom of speech's apartment recently, turns out he left and isn't coming back anytime soon.
Stupid...
jesus being nailed to a cross and being left to die [I]is[/I] a pretty violent image, you just don't think of it because you're so used to seeing it though I do agree that sending him home and the psychological evaluation was too much

we were making pictures in 2nd grade and I drew 9/11 my teacher thought it was a good drawing
This 8 year old has been listening to too much Slayer.
I used to draw horrible shit. Still do. The teacher thought it was funny.
