Supreme Court sides with Kindergartener, refuses to hear religious discrimination cas
 | Supreme Court sides with Kindergartener, refuses to hear religious discrimination case.
The Supreme Court Monday refused to hear the case of a New York kindergartner who sued his school after the Jesus poster he submitted for a class assignment on saving the environment was allegedly censored.
In Baldwinsville School District v. Peck, the high court let stand a ruling by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals that prohibited public schools from censoring the religious viewpoints of students in class assignments.
Antonio Peck and his parents filed the lawsuit, saying his free speech rights were violated when school officials folded his poster in half to block any view of Jesus. The poster depicted Jesus kneeling on one knee with his hands open to the sky.
"Today's ruling is a victory for religious freedom and students who have been singled out for discrimination by overzealous school officials," said Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council, in a statement.
"In a nation founded on religious freedom, it is appalling that a kindergarten student would be subjected to censorship and humiliation simply for expressing his religious viewpoint," said Perkins.
Perkins said the court's decision "serves as a warning to school officials who engage in viewpoint discrimination and trample on the civil liberties of students."

Praise the Lord that the high court stood for religious freedom!
Dear Lord, I pray that children will be allowed to express their beliefs in school. I pray that teachers and staff will be stopped from religious discrimination against Christians. They use Harry Potter for school curriculum, so how is it fair to not allow another religion besides witchcraft? I pray that those working in schools will understand the double standard in this. They push witchcraft and false relgions on the kids, but they tell a Christian he has no rights to expess what he believes. I pray this is no longer the case in America. Let us return to the days when the Bible was taught in schools (wacko as that sounds). Father, I know that YOU can turn this nation around and back to Your Son, Jesus Christ. I pray to this end. In Jesus Name, amen.
