2. I guess I'd have to see the poster...
even if I disagree with the imagery, I think its weird to obscure an image unless it was obscene.
It's the kid's point of view, so a figure of Jesus should be allowed, as well as anyone who wants to put a buddha, mohammed, etc.

but I'd really want to see the poster myself. I wonder if there isn't something not mentioned about it. I followed the link to the original story and, from what I can tell, it seems the kid changed his poster once to suit the teachers, so I really don't think it makes sense to censor the poster again.

Now, admittedly, I don't agree that counting on Jesus to save the environment is going to work, but I doubt every kindergartener's poster was 100% right on, either.

so.... :shrug:

not sure it needs to SCOTUS, though.
