On topic!!

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?

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying that no one would care if this teacher burned a random indecipherable shape onto his arm? I highly doubt that.

Though the cross aspect of it coupled with his proselytizing certainly draws interest.

You just answered your own question.

That it was a cross is what’s got people so up in arms, at least judging by all the comments here about the shape and the guys religious beliefs.

I see hardly anybody addressing the fact that it is wrong to burn people, period.
