My interpretation was that whoever (the parents?) was complaining about racism assumed it was because the dude on the cross was black. And yeah, that'd be a no brainer.

But the teacher, who is saying nothing, more than likely had no racial motivation and was simply discriminating against the kid because of the kid's religious expression, not race... equally dumb though.

The teacher is a jackass either way.
