Christian gets zero grade for Jesus cross art
By Grant Swank

It's a drawing of a cross and then a reference to "John 3:16 a sign of love."

The Tomah Wisconsin High School senior submitted the artwork and was graded with a zero. Other students submitted demonic images and that was okay. The art teacher said the Christian depiction was out of bounds.

America has gone nuts in some places — education for one major site. It's a crime. It's another sign of the Republic's collapse. Downing dollars. Upping gases. And mistreatment of a teen believer by a "teacher" Julie Millin.

Fire her.

She even taunted him by telling him that the Scripture reference made some students uncomfortable therefore he had to remove it. He would not remove it. She graded him with the zero.

Fire her.

All the while, Muslims get their prayer rooms, wash basins for their feet, and freedom of speech via 4000 websites to blow up North America. They get their special menus sans pork while seated in prisons. Even the Koran is placed by George W. Bush in the White House library, all midst a Ramadan ceremony dinner for Muslim guests.

David Cortman, lawyer for Alliance Defense Fund, is going to court for the senior student. "We hear so much today about tolerance," he said. Oh yes, tolerance.

The student was also kicked out of art class. Assistant Principal Cale Jackson agreed with the demented teacher.

"Sometime after that meeting, the boy's metals teacher rejected his idea to build a chain-mail cross, telling him it was religious and could offend someone, the lawsuit claims. The boy decided in March to shelve plans to make a pin with the words 'pray' and 'praise' on it because he was afraid he'd get a zero for a grade" per AP.

This is America?

Oh, Buddha and Hindu figures are displayed in the social studies class but Christ's cross cannot be drawn in art class.

Let's recall also that a drawing of Medusa, the Grim Reaper, hangs in the art room, complete with horned head and protruding tongue. Demonic masks are thither and yon.

A Hindu god with six limbs impacts hallway walls. A robed sorcerer hangs on the bulletin board.
