Battle Continues Over Kindergartener's Poster Portraying Jesus

Liberty Counsel filed an initial brief at the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in the case of Peck v. Baldwinsville School District. Liberty Counsel has represented Antonio Peck and his mother since this case began in 1999, when Antonio attended kindergarten in Syracuse and was punished for religious content in an assigned art project.

Antonio’s first poster had several religious figures that expressed his belief that God was the only way to save the environment. After this poster was rejected because of its religious content, he was forced to create a second poster.

His second poster was displayed for part of one day on the cafeteria wall along with 80 other student posters, but unlike the other kindergarten posters, Antonio’s poster was folded in half so that the figure of Jesus could not be seen
