The student was told by the teacher that he signed away his constitutional rights when he signed up for the class.

From the article:

Jackson told the boy, his stepfather and his pastor at a meeting a week later that religious expression could be legally censored in class assignments. Millin stated at the meeting the cross in the drawing also infringed on other students' rights.

So, the boy's art infringed on other students' rights, but:

The lawsuit also alleges school officials allow other religious items and artwork to be displayed on campus.

A Buddha and Hindu figurines are on display in a social studies classroom, the lawsuit claims, adding the teacher passionately teaches Hindu principles to students.

In addition, a replica of Michaelangelo's "The Creation of Man" is displayed at the school's entrance, a picture of a six-limbed Hindu deity is in the school's hallway and a drawing of a robed sorcerer hangs on a hallway bulletin board.

Drawings of Medusa, the Grim Reaper with a scythe and a being with a horned head and protruding tongue hang in the art room and demonic masks are displayed in the metals room, the lawsuit alleges.

Here is the drawing that infringes upon the rights of other students:

Anything but Christ.
The world hates Christ and the preaching of the cross. There is zero tolerance for that which is against the world. There is zero tolerance to that which the world cannot offer. It offers only empty promises, false hope and an end. It requires much for it's survival: your unmitigated approval, your trust and your soul.
Yes, I can understand the world's fear of the cross, or more accurately the fear of what it represents to the world... judgment from the very same it has chosen to condemn.

John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Who shall wipe the tears of God?
 
I'm sure reference to John 3:16 didn't help either.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
