I can only go on what the article says. If there is other information, then I will act accordingly.

If there is clear indicators that this was a reaction because the kid drew a crucifix because it is a Christian symbol, then we have a whole new kettle of frogs.

But if this is just a screw-up and an example of bad rules, administration and teacher preparedness, it is consistent with what I have been saying.

I’m almost nostalgic for Balloon Boy, this story is so stupid. At leate Balloon Dad didn’t come right out and say “GIVE ME MONEY HUR DUR HUR”.

Here is the Early Christian Martyr’s father in the media:
“They owe us a small lump sum for this.”
“I also think they should give him a fully paid scholarship to the school of his choice. We should be compensated for our pain and suffering.”
