Do you think this would have gotten me in trouble?

When I was in my early teens I volunteered at a hospital mail room. The mail room employees were somewhat diverse in background.

One of the cool parts about this mailroom was a giant calendar that employees drew on. I got the idea to draw a picture of a klansman burning a cross but his robe catching on fire. It was big and clear and one way I, as a young teen, was trying to identify myself as anti-racism.

After drawing it, I thought better of it because despite my idea I figured someone could get the wrong idea and I scribbled it out completely. I remember one of the full-timers commenting: it’s the first week of the month and this calendar is already messed up?!

So knowing the basic details of the story, what do you think could have happened if I didn’t scribble out the drawing?
