SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO TOSS RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION CASE

From the story: In June 1999, Antonio Peck was told to create a poster about the environment. Peck drew a picture depicting Jesus praying and two children kneeling before a rock with the word "savior" on it. The words "The only way to save our world" were across the top, according to earlier reports. Peck was told by his kindergarten teacher Susan Weichert to redo the assignment. He did. The new drawing had people recycling and throwing away trash, as well as a robed man kneeling with his hands outstretched toward the sky. The district displayed it along with 80 others in McNamara Elementary School's cafeteria, Staver said. But the picture was folded, hiding the robed man, presumed to be Jesus.
