Story: Student sues Wisconsin school district over religious drawing
Unless this kid is getting up on lunch tables in the cafeteria and preaching scripture, I'm not gonna have a problem with him drawing a picture of a cross in art class. The school also has plans on cracking down on WWJD bracelets and monitoring students thoughts before tests to make sure they're not praying for a good grade.

FIRST!!!
Well, there goes all that Renaissance Art..and 18th century art...oh, wait..and 19th...20th...well, let's just burn all the art and start fresh.
Good GRIEF! That's what you get for institutionalizing education.
What is a little anti-semitic?
Nothing in the article even alludes to Judaism.
I am a strong believer in the separation of church and state; but, I also strongly support our freedom of expression.
This school's policy is crazy! I understand the school should not be in the business of teaching religion, or pushing prayers down a student's throat. But... censuring a student's freedom of expression???!!! Come on!
It was an art-class drawing! I heard they also stopped using 'plus' signs in math class because they too closely resemble a cross.
I go to school in Tomah. I support the student but I feel like the entire situation has been blown out of proportion. The federal case could go either way. Unfortunatly, the case will probably take a while to come to a close since the students lawyers are pushing to have the "contracts" (signed by students at the begining of the class semester) removed from all schools, not just Tomah. He is getting big recognition for doing absolutely nothing worthwhile. Maybe the news should focus on something more imprtant.
I want this to be an April Fool's joke, but it was posted last night...I'm so confused. It's so horrible it's ridiculous...and I don't think it would be true in Wisconsin...would it?
Unless the kid's art teacher assigned a specific type of drawing in class, what's wrong with his choosing to do a crucifix? I'm no Christian, but I do believe in religious freedom AND freedom of expression.
