ANOTHER EXAMPLE of political correctness run amuck:

An eight year old elementary school student in Taunton was sent home from school and required to undergo a psychological evaluation after drawing a stick figure picture of Jesus on the cross.

The second grader at Maxham Elementary school was told by this teacher that the drawing was violent. This was after the class was asked to sketch something that reminded them of Christmas....
The school denied that the student was suspended: “School officials did not specify any action they took, but said they followed ‘well-established protocol,’ including reviewing the child's records and consulting with school psychologists.”

At the moment, this appears to be a "he said, she said" case. But given school tendencies toward "zero tolerance", the way to bet is against the school.
