The Supreme Court is currently reviewing a Free Speech case involving a student that had been suspended in 2000 for posting a huge “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” banner on school property during an Olympic event. The principal told the smart butt kid to remove the banner and eventually tore it herself when the kid flatly said “no” and waved his rights and his freedom of speech. He was eventually suspended and immediately followed by a good ole lawsuit against the principal. The circuit court of appeal gave him reason and allowed him to seek financial compensations. Now the whole mess is in the hands of the Supremes.
Furthermore, a wonderful coalition of the ACLU, Conservative religious Organizations, advocates on Drug use, free speech and Gay right groups united in support of the student! This is America, people! Common sense is gone – a land by the lawyers and for the lawyers! What do you think? Is this free speech? Can anybody say anything anywhere? What is the agenda here? What will most likely happen if that kid wins the case? Why do you think we have such a diverse, “unnatural”, and contradictory alliance supporting the kid?
