A Utah school district has placed a teacher on administrative leave for forcing a student to remove the Ash Wednesday cross from his forehead.
A Utah school district has placed a teacher on administrative leave for forcing a 9-year-old student to remove the cross of ashes from his forehead on Ash Wednesday.
"We take the matter very seriously and are investigating the situation. The teacher is currently on administrative leave," Davis School District spokesman Christopher Williams told USA TODAY in a written statement on Thursday. Ash Wednesday – officially known as the Day of Ashes – is a day of repentance, when Christians confess their sins and profess their devotion to God. The ashes are placed on a worshiper's forehead in the shape of a cross. The symbol is meant to show that a person belongs to Jesus Christ, and it also represents a person's grief and mourning for their sins.
