My goodness, this is now offensive?! Do we have to take everything seriously?!

Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District (California) Superintendent Brent Woodard has “banned depicting religious leaders” after some students drew Mohamed on a history class assignment.

“Following a parent’s complaint and media inquiries,” Woodard indicated he would check with an expert on Islam to resolve whether the 7th grade handout from High Desert School was “offensive.”
