5-year old censored by NY school will get his day in court : Catholic News Agency
5-year old Antonio Peck had no idea when he turned in his homework assignment--a poster about protecting the environment--that it would land him in federal court.
Peck, then a kindergarten student at Baldwinsville, NY’s Catherine McNamara Elementary School, originally turned in his poster-assignment to his teacher in 1999. It featured, among other things, a cut out picture of Jesus--something he reportedly thought applicable to the environment, and the assignment.
I think the advocates of secularism cringe when they see stories like this. Cases like this might just trigger a legislative remedy that would restore sanity.
The teachers and school administrators want to do this is a stealth mode, concealing the intimidation of kindergarden kids and their parents.
In the United States today, obscenity is more tolerated than the name (or image) of Jesus in schools.
Baldwinsville NY is near Syracuse.
