Here's one for the books...specifically the books of absurd political correctness or excessive nanny-statism.
According to a report in the Boston Herald, an 8-year-old special needs student was sent home from a Boston-area elementary school after drawing a typical child's interpretation of Jesus nailed to the cross. And...get this...the child was ordered to undergo psychological testing!
School officials said they feared the boy's artwork - drawn to depict his visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Salette on his Thanksgiving break - might be exposing violent tendencies. Fortunately the school-appointed psychiatrist, Helene Titelbaum, determined (after a two-day assessment) there was nothing wrong with him.
Said the good Jewish doctor, “(The boy) does not appear to be a threat to himself or others at this time. I recommend that he return to school as soon as possible.”
The mayor called the school superintendent and asked her to apologize both privately and publicly to the boy's family...and pay the psychiatrist's bill too. Answer came there none.
Afterthought: Why are so many psychiatrists Jewish? Could it be because Catholics go to confession to get what's bothering them off their chests, but, not having that sacrament, Jews go to a shrink?!
