A Taunton father is furious his eight-year-old son was sent home from school and required to undergo a psychological evaluation after he drew a stick-figure picture of Jesus Christ on the cross.
The father, who wants his name withheld to protect his son, told the Taunton Gazette he got a call earlier this month from the Maxham Elementary School.
They told him his son, a second-grader with special needs, had created a violent drawing.
THE DRAWING
It started when his teacher asked the class to sketch something that reminded them of Christmas.
The boy drew a crucified Jesus with X’s covering his eyes to signify that he had died on the cross

Is this boy not entitled to “freedom of expression”?
