Today WBZ is reporting an incident at a Taunton, MA public school. Where a 2nd grader was asked to draw a picture of what Christmas meant to them. This child drew a picture of Jesus on a cross with his exes for his eyes. When he turned in his paper his teacher deemed it to be “too violent”. This 8yr old boy now has to go through psychiatric before he can return to school.

What on earth are we coming too? When I was 8 we use to draw epic battles.. It was like playing army on paper. We use to design “bomb shelters” that had 20 levels, had guns, and rockets and all kinds of things to protect us. We use to do this in school, and the teacher use to compliment us on how good our drawings were even though they were horribly drawn.

Society today is out of control, trying to control things that it shouldn’t. Reacting to things that they shouldn’t. A kid walks down the hall and punches his classmate for no reason. That’s a reason to send him in for a psych evaluation. Not a harmless drawing. That teacher should be fired. and so should the rest of the town school committee.
