“alarmed when the boy drew Xs for Jesus’ eyes”

Reminds me of an old Charlie Brown cartoon. Linus has drawn a picture of himself with his hands behind his back. Lucy begins to pyscoanalyize, “Drawing your hands behind your back means that you can't deal with problems and are insecure.” Linus answers, “Drawing my hands behind my back means that I can't draw hands.”

Often the simplest answer is the correct answer.

>>Often the simplest answer is the correct answer.<<

Do you want to be the teacher when this kid does something nuts because a slippery Occam’s Razor standard was applied?

Better safe than sorry.

But the more important point is this isn’t a religious prosecution case — it is a teacher reacting to signals of potential problems. The level of that reaction may be up for debate but the underlying issue should not be.
