“So many people are in a tailspin because it was a cross burned into the kids arm.
Like it would have been a less serious offense if it had been some other symbol burned into his arm?”
As of your post 146 not one anti-evolutionist has experessed even the mildest criticism ot the teacher.
Why?
Beats me, but I’ve seen the teacher criticized on other threads about this incident by religious people simply for the act of burning.
This is far from the only thread that has addressed the topic.
