School says 11 yr old's drawing of pig with a bowtie is "obscene"

A pig wearing a tie or an obscene drawing?

That’s the debate surrounding a viral TikTok posted by a Michigan mom after school officials complained that her 11-year-old daughter’s drawing was obscene.

A video, titled ”I can’t make this up,” has accumulated more than 800,000 views and features Sierra Carter, 37, of Jackson, explaining how officials at her fifth grade daughter’s school deemed her drawing of a pig wearing a bow tie “inappropriate.”.

“It’s very angering as a parent,” Carter said. “You send your kids to school trusting that these people who are caring for your kids and teaching your kids are gonna treat them fairly. They’re gonna care about them.”

A boy student in the class told the art teacher that the drawing looked like “boy parts,” which caused a commotion in the class with children laughing, Carter said.

The drawing, entitled “Piggie,” is a pink pig that features a black outlined bow tie and the phrase “Hi” in a quotation bubble.
