Taunton Superintendent denies suspending student over drawing
(NECN: Taunton, Mass.) - There are conflicting reports tonight
surrounding an eight-year-old boy and his drawing depicting Jesus on a
cross.
It has been reported on NECN and by several other media outlets that
the second grader was apparently suspended for the stick figure picture.
Tonight the Superintendent of schools in Taunton, Massachusetts says
that is inaccurate and that the picture given out by the boy's family
was not the one discovered by the teacher, and the boy was never
suspended.
The boy's father says his son was punished for a drawing he was asked to make about the holiday.
