Seriously, though, any school teacher/administrator who is "deeply concerned" about a third grade boy writing the words "pointed stick" in a journal has some very serious mental health issues of his own for which he should be seeking help, instead of expending energy trying to ruin a young boy's childhood.

My doodles were of spaceships shooting at each other.

A pointed stick?!?

I went to school with a black boy who was one of the most prolific “artists” I have ever personally set through a class with.
Every day he would draw western scenes of cowboys shooting it out with rustlers, train robbers, indians or other cowboys.
He could fit an entire western scene on a regular sheet of three ring lined paper.
They were like real pictures of western shoot outs, complete with cowboys on horseback, men with rifles shooting from the saloon rooftop, cow punchers with six shooters blazing, or indians shooting from horseback.
He didn’t get much schoolwork done but he could churn those drawings out one after the other all day long. And he was actually quite good - everything was detailed, recognizable and in perspective.
The teachers knew he was sketching away, but in those days grown adults did not have such an immature, insane reaction to a picture of a gun or a Pop-Tart shaped like the letter “L”.
He would give those drawings away or toss them in the trash. I often wished I had kept a few of them and I wonder if he is still drawing those western scenes - maybe now for his grandkids.

It is an opportunity to ensure young comrades are properly conducted to the bright future of our nation. We should be glad of the vigilance of our childkeepers.
Do I really need a sarcasm tag?

I don’t know about the laws in Arizona, but if this is a public school, the School Board meeting has to be attended by enough parents who deliver the message that they tell this faux-educator to back down or recall petitions will be initiated against the lot of them...

Yes I was.
I also used to draw pictures which depicted American and German [or Japanese] soldiers fighting battles in which... [ brace yourself ] ...they were shooting GUNS at each other!
Isn't that awful? I was such a bad kid.

“Prahcharov told Jeff that he worried about the safety of the other kids at the school in light of the drawings and these journal entries.”
I’d bet $1000 Prahcharov is not a heterosexual man.

Generalizations are often wrong. I taught for 20 years and I feel that I was in the trenches battling against secular humanism. I was often fearful of being too overtly Christian. If all Christian teachers leave public education, who becomes that little light to show what Christianity is to millions of children? When you attack all teachers, you do a grave disservice to those teachers who feel a “calling” to teach. Missionaries go to non-Christian countries to spread the gospel. I chose to go into education to spread God's love. Surely, not ALL teachers deserve your scorn.
To: dead
It certainly is awesome, if it was drawn by an eight-year-old third-grader

A pointed stick?!? Well, at least he didn't draw a basket of elderberries.

You are correct. They do not all deserve our scorn.
Thank you for reminding us of that, and thank you for your service to our children. Yours could not have been an easy path.

I am confused. Where in the post did I say you should quit your job?
To: gop4lyf
It this true. One of your students drew this? What did you do about it?
To: DeFault User
Evidently Mr. Prahcharov has never had any contact with young boys
Now why would you assume that? Oh, you must mean contact in an ethical, intelligent way.
