Wow - it's a good thing that dying on a cross is painless and no one dies from it. This boy is obviously a psychopath and a danger to society...

Of course, if the boy drew a picture depicting acts of sodomy, the would pat him on the back and add it to the curriculum.

Or if the boy had made santa black ...!

Here is the problem in a nutshell...and people are not gonna like hearing this, but here goes....the teacher is hired, and reports to a principal...the principal is hired and reports to the school board...the school board is ELECTED by the people...problem here is that the people of this district refuse to throw out the current board. It is the lemmings that vote that are too damn lazy to give a damn...message to all, especially the “meet all my requirements or i will stay at home and not vote” republicans....elections have consequenses, and you get the government you elect....stop bitching and start doing something..

Christianity views the death of Jesus as the heart of salvation.

Just proves, once again that the Word of God is relevant to every day life, and applies throughout time.

1 Cor 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

In today’s diverse religious environment

"religious diversity", in applicantion, means "anti-Christian"

Then let the elected school board require the teacher to under go psychiatric evaluation.

And if they refuse, evaluate them psychiatrically by voting them out next time around.

What’s so hard about that? Make an issue of it, dammit.

The boy is a genius. The teacher is brainwashed.

they recommended that a psychiatrist do an evaluation

I don't suppose the psychiatrist would "evaluate" the teacher and principal and "find" that they were repressed and disturbed.

I stopped by a friend’s house the other day to give her something from another mutual friend. They are both public school teachers. Turns out what I was giving her were lesson plans for this week...lessons on the history or Ramadan, Kwanza, Hanukkah, atheism, and Darwinism. (They pick the week before Christmas to do all this nonsense, of course.) I asked, “Where’s the history of Christmas?” She said they aren’t allowed to teach about it. “Too oppressive.” I said, “Yeah, that Jesus guy was really dispicable, wasn’t he? Healing the sick, teaching love and forgivness and dying for the world’s sins? Yeah, what an oppressive jerk... But Mohammad, now there’s a real savior, raping children and what not.”

She didn’t understand what the big deal was. But I see it. You can’t teach the history of a religous holiday without teaching what a religion believes. I told her that she’s taking part in desensitizing these kids and following the progressive agenda by trying to justify this to me. Then Is aid every time I talk to her, I find one more reason to defend homeschooling. That went into a whole other discussion...

An excellent example of what St. Paul spoke of, so long ago. The cross is a stumbling block to the lost. Believers in Christ full-well understand the meaning of Christmas and Salvation.

You cannot have the Resurrection without the death on the cross.

You cannot have the death on the cross without the birth.

Oh, and by “suspend the school board,” what else could I have meant but “vote them out”? Is that so hard to understand?.

VOTE THEM OUT BY PLAYING THE DIVERSITY CARD. Vote them out by pointing out the teacher’s lack of empathy for religion. Make an issue of it. Rub the Massachesetts liberals’ noses in it—you fools talk a good game about religious diversity. Well in this case the teacher lacked empathy for this religion. Either send her to diversity training camp, School Board, or we vote you out.

Yes, it would be best to be able to deny them our tax dollars as punishment for promoting a harmful ideology on our society, but at the least, get your kid out of there.

1 Cor 15:33
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

Ephesians 4:14
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.

There are no passages which say that good character affects bad company, especially among children.

Think of it this way - McDonald’s food is not the healthiest for your kids, so even if you do give them $20 per week and don’t go, your kids would be better off.

I suppose if he had drawn a picture of "Timmy Has 2 Dads" he would have been applauded.

Proof of my above assertion that

“religious diversity”

is simply “anti-Christian”.

I think it would be better to work on that $20. Or better yet, make a lot of noise.

Go back and read it again. She was appalled by the treatment the boy got from the school.

Let’s say you go to McDonaldsand spend $20 a week there. You get mad because McDonalds supports leftists so you quit going there but you still give them $20 a week. Who wins?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The child wins if he is taken out.

In many states schools receive funding based on the number of children who attend. When a child withdraws money leaves the school. That's how it is in my state.

States do lay off teachers and close and combine schools when enrollment drops.

If property taxes remain the same at least the money is going to other services other than Marxist schooling.

As more children leave the government schools there is less support for the government schools in the voting booth.

With fewer children in the government schools the influence of the educational-industrial complex is lessened. ( For instance, in my county the government school is the biggest single employer, has the largest payroll, and expends more money to employees and vendors than any other business in the county. That adds up to a lot of support in the voting booth.)
