The story of a kid who was supposedly suspended from school for drawing a crucifix is falling apart. See this article from Boston.com. But where it gets downright silly is when the father opens his yap and spills these nuggets of greedy wisdom:

“It hurts me that they did this to my kid,’’ Chester Johnson, the boy’s father, said in an interview with the Globe. “They can’t mess with our religion. They owe us a small lump sum for this.’’

“He said he was uncomfortable,’’ he said. “I also think they should give him a fully paid scholarship to the school of his choice. We should be compensated for our pain and suffering.’’

Britain has its cultural troubles, to be sure. But one particular problem America has is the culture of “boo hoo, they hurt my feelings, so I’M GOING TO SUE THEM.”

Suck it up, Nancy, and have some damned dignity.

  1. …And here I thought this was going to be a three-inch putt for any half-competent lawyer. I feel bad for the kid, what sort of awful lesson will he take from all this?

  2. I don’t buy the school’s line of “It never happened”. Far too many instances of this kind of stupidity from public schools.

    Trouble is, it’s starting to appear here, as well….
