“According to Frankie Girard’s father, John, the boy was in art class drawing a picture.”

“Superintendent, Dr. Paul Burnim. He refused to go on camera, but told 22News over the phone that nobody ever told Franklin the drawing was offensive, and said the only reason it wasn’t hung was because Franklin was supposed to be doing other work; not drawing a picture.”

Which is it....an Art class or not....other work is rather ambiguous.

Since when is drawing a flag and wanting to display it a situation of consternation?

All I know is this is one reason why kids are getting away with everything. They have decided that paying attention and doing what they are supposed to be doing are out the window. If the art class called for doing whatever picture you want and the school didn’t like what he drew that would be one thing, but if you are supposed to draw what the teacher asked and the kid decided to draw what he wanted, I could see the school getting upset. Regardless these kids are the future and they have an entitlement thinking that does not help America at all. All this would be mute if parents would all homeschool their kids. Since that is not happening than the kids have to do with the school gives as assignments.
