"They" as a singular noun is not grammar fail, you muke.

Actually it is, 'they' represents multiple people. If you're refering to one person, 'they' is inappropriate. Same goes with 'them'. "Draw them" implies/means drawing more than one person.

I would have agreed with you if my English teacher didn't drilled it into me as being incorrect.

They has always been used to represent one person as well.

Well your english teacher can rot in hell, because saying "he or she" every time you indicate a single person is stupid and inefficient. "They" used as a singular, very efficiently indicates any single person without having to divulge gender.
