If your child draws a penis at school, you'll probably get a phone call. If you child just draws a boy, no such call will happen. What do you think the nature of the phone call might be? Suggesting that a penis is obscene is as ridiculous as suggesting that a boy is obscene, right? You have my permission to quit patronising me now.

Wait, wut? Are you now saying it's considered odd for a child to draw a penis - and that this would be considered obscene? Or are you saying it's ridiculous to think anyone would suggest a child's picture of a penis is obscene?

What if your child draws people in the shape of penises? I have a son who did exactly that when he was little. We referred to the way he drew figures as "penis people." When he was in kindergarten all the kids had to draw pics of their families for a family fair, where all the artwork was displayed and the families came to visit. We were henceforth known as "The Penis Family."

Kids draw penises and things that look like penises all the time.

If a school has an issue with a kid drawing a penis, then usually the age of the child would be a factor, as would other considerations such as whether it's done repetitively, it's done to show or send to others to sexually harass or cause distress, or the drawings constitute graffiti or property damage.
