Kindergartner fights for Jesus poster for 10 years

Why the latest USSC case is just another sample of the overall religious (Christian) cleansing of our culture.

The fact is that even the most innocuous events or demonstrations will be portrayed as a "Christian" take over and violation of "separation of church and state". To many lawsuits to overcome with to many judicial activists on the bench.

A former kindergarten student has been fighting a legal battle for 10 years after his teacher and principal censored his art project because it included a figure of Jesus.

Tomorrow, a federal appeals court will revisit the case for a third time in a decade.

According to the complaint, Antonio Peck's kindergarten teacher, Susan Weichert, instructed the class to create a poster with cutout pictures illustrating the children's understanding of the environment and asking them to show ways to take care of the earth.

Peck, former student of Catherine McNamera Elementary School
during the 1999-2000 school year, drew a picture with featuring religious figures and the words, "The only way to save the world."

"Antonio was expressing his belief that God was the only way to save the environment," Liberty Counsel, the nonprofit law group representing the boy, wrote in a statement.

But Peck's poster was rejected because of its religious content, according to the report. The young boy was forced to draw a second poster.

Peck's next poster featured cutouts of people picking up garbage and children holding hands around a globe. He also included a cutout of a bearded man wearing a robe with his hands stretched toward the sky.

"To Antonio, this figure was Jesus, although the figure was not identified," the report states.

The following is Peck's poster as he submitted it for the kindergarten assignment:

I view this strictly from a biblical standpoint. God predicted these things would happen. IOW, it can’t be stopped. All we have is our own faith and support of each other to maintain our faith. For me this has become more about defeating that which tries to remove what is in my heart rather than remove what is in our society. Jesus did not try to remove what was inevitable in his time which resulted in his crucifixion; what he did do was continue to spread His word regardless of the impending consequences.

I don’t ask for God to make society see it our way and stop the madness; I ask for God’s will to be done. And it will some day. But for now this is the path God predicted.

I agree with your statement

I just still think we are obligated to defend the traditional worldview.

"Traditional worldview"?

That's a loaded comment.
