Update: School Denies Suspending Boy Over Jesus Drawing

WPRI: The Taunton School District on Tuesday night denied a father's claims that his son was suspended for drawing a stick figure of Jesus on a cross . School superintendent Julie Hackett said in a written statement that the second-grade student was never suspended over the sketch and that a drawing circulated to reporters by the boy's father, Chester Johnson, is not the same one that was discovered by the teacher.

Well, then let’s see the picture he was suspended for. Should be very simple matter.

This “father” is playing the race card, the religion card and whatever else he can! He is using his son and the so called dad is the one that should be under scrutiny! What a dirt bag. Leave the school alone, AND leave the kid alone.

Another unqualified broad as superintendent. It is little discussed but obvious how the takeover of primary and secondary education by unqualified broads is destroying our country. Why is it there are so many graduate degree administrators, far higher in number than in decades gone by, that our education for kids is getting worse with more PC than teaching going on? Death to PC. When US schools were by far #1 in the world (yes there really was such a time) there almost NO masters and PHd admins, now why is that?

Ivy league = death of USA

A child of mine would’ve been yanked-out of that school before any debate of a suspension ever got into development.

This country is being turned into Nazi Germany before our very eyes, and everyone is too scared to fight-it down. *very sad

You people better Wake-Up, and fast.

While it is an outrage that symbols of Christ/Christmas are constantly suppressed,it is also an outrgage that symbols of Judaism are not.
Who believes that any child drawing a menorah or a star of David would be reprimanded?
If nobody thinks that the child would be disciplined,then shouldn’t we be focusing our efforts at the double standard?
Who thinks that a child would be disciplined for wearing a star of David in school?
The hypocrisy is sickening and It’s interesting that more people aren’t voicing concern of this.
