Bradley Johnson, a high school mathematics teacher, posted on his classroom walls large banners with familiar phrases such as "In God We Trust," "One Nation Under God," and "God Shed His Grace on Thee." School officials told him he needed to put the phrases in context (e.g., put the entire Declaration of Independence on the wall) or remove them. He did the latter and sued the school district for violating his First Amendment free speech and religious expression rights. In part, he defended his banner by pointing to displays in other classrooms that included Tibetan prayer flags, a Dalai Lama poster, and others. Decide Johnson's lawsuit. See Johnson v. Poway Unified School District, 658 F.3d 954 (9th Cir. 2011); cert. den. Johnson v. Poway Unified School District, 132 S.Ct. 1807 (2012).
