This is an interesting case. Personally, it almost seems to be making a mountain out of a mole hill. It's a pretty nonsensical phrase, and Joseph Frederick wasn't even on school property at the time. It seems like something more suited to Frederick's parents to figure out.
Kenneth Starr is representing the principal, Deborah Morse, who suspended Frederick for the stunt. I was pretty floored, although not surprised, by the following:
"Starr, joined by the Bush administration, also asked the court to adopt a broad rule that could essentially give public schools the right to clamp down on any speech with which they disagree. That argument did not appear to have widespread support among the justices."
That doesn't seem like opening a can of worms...
In related news, I swear that there used to be a public access TV show or radio show called "Bong Hits 4 Jesus", but a quick online search yielded nothing. Anyone else out there remember this, or am I just making things up?
