From what I remember from more than two years ago, some low-level employee in the school system screwed up. The fundamentalist group that produced the poster used that opportunity to scream "Discrimination against Christians!"

I can understand the tough spot that school systems are in regarding the First Amendment. Both the ACLU and the fundamentalist groups jump all over the schools on every little issue. From my perspective, it should be simple--students can do their own religious activities, but teachers and other school employees can't get involved.
