My God, what have we done? Yesterday this news story was making its rounds.

Mass. 2nd-grader sent home for crucifix drawing

TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man says his 8-year-old son was sent home from school and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation after drawing a stick figure Jesus on a cross because the teacher thought it was too violent.
The man told the Taunton Daily Gazette for a story Tuesday his second-grader made the drawing Dec. 2 after his teacher asked children to sketch something that reminded them of Christmas.
The father, Chester Johnson, said on WBZ-TV that the teacher became upset when his son said he drew himself on the cross. Johnson says school officials overreacted.
The boy was cleared to return to school after the evaluation.
Superintendent Julie Hackett said she could not discuss an individual student and the school followed protocol.
Hackett didn’t return calls from The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The Spirit of the Antichrist now permeates this world...

It will only last a short while, but we are in for more heresy, lies and persecution from the False Prophets until they fall into oblivion....

In Soviet Russia they used to put Christians in mental hospitals. Maybe they still do.
