In Syracuse, New York, kindergartner Antonio Peck was told by his teacher to create a poster on what he thought people could do to save the environment. He drew a picture of Jesus praying, along with the slogan, "The only way to save our world!" His teacher told him it wouldn't be displayed because of its religious content, so he drew a new poster showing people picking up garbage. Off to one side of the picture was a man in a flowing robe kneeling down with both hands outstretched to the clouds above. School officials displayed the poster, but folded it so that the robed man, whom they construed as Jesus, was not visible. His mother responded by suing the school on First Amendment grounds.
