Today, after finishing a test, I decided to draw to pass the time. My teacher looked at the drawing and gave me a referral to the principal for drawing an "anti-Semitic picture." I'd drawn Superman. FML

Wow... I wonder what your teacher might have said if u had drawn Captain America.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally draw SuperHitler? It's actually a common mistake.

Well, a reasonable, logical person would infer it was the poster of this FML.

Ha that's funny the first superman comic was done by two Jewish guys I believe.

innovative Jews from Cleveland, Jerry Siegel (writer) and Joe Shuster (artist)

Dang you beat me to it. I was just going to point that out. If anything he was the exact opposite of antisemitic.

Drawing pictures on your test paper seems like a pretty silly thing to do.

Never said he drew on his test, when I was a kid I would draw on scrap paper.

I drew on the back of my tests when I was in school.

Well Siegel and Schuster originally created superman as an evil bald telepathic guy bent on world domination before they ever made him a superhero.... But even then I don't think he was anti Semitic lol and yes the creators were Jewish ;)

Did you draw him in his characteristic pose with his arms stretched out in front of him? It's a stretch, but maybe she thought he was doing the Nazi salute

Maybe Superman is anti-Semitic. Has he ever saved a Jewish person in any of his shows?

I do believe he fought Hitler during the WWII era of comics. He was also created by two Jewish guys so.... No. Superman isn't anti-semitic.

"...And superman is Jewish..." PS US Congressman in the 1950s says this!!!

If that's the case, don't go drawing Batman either. He, like Superman, was also created by a Jewish person.
