Second-grader sent home after drawing crucifix By Laura Crimaldi \| Tuesday, December 15, 2009 \| bostonherald.com \| Local Coverage Photo by Taunton Gazette An 8-year-old boy from Taunton was sent home from school and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation after drawing a stick-figure picture of Jesus Christ on the cross, according to the Taunton Daily Gazette. The paper is reporting the boy’s father was called earlier this month by Maxham Elementary School officials who informed him his second-grade son had created a “violent drawing.” An image of the drawing published on the paper’s Web site shows a crucified Jesus with Xs over his eyes, signifying his death. The paper did not identify the father, who asked for anonymity to protect his son. “As far as I’m concerned, they’re violating his religion,” the father told the paper. He added his son drew the picture shortly after visiting the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette in Attelboro to see its Christmas display. He made the drawing in class after his teacher asked the children to sketch something that reminded them of Christmas, the father said. A call placed by the Herald to Taunton Superintendent Julie Hackett was not immediately returned. Article URL: bostonherald.com
