No cross on Christmas decorations allowed!

Recently an elementary teacher gave each student a Christmas tree ornament (ball) to take home and decorate. The students decorated the ornament and then brought back to school to hang on the class Christmas tree. All the students were allowed to hang their decorated ball on the tree except one child. The teacher told her she could not hang her ball cause it had a cross on it.

What do you want to say about this?
