"Bong Hits 4 Jesus"? He Likes Joints Better

The Supreme Court ruled today that the kid that made this banner should have been suspended from his high school and his right to free speech was not impeded. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote "It was reasonable for (the principal) to conclude that the banner promoted illegal drug use-- and that failing to act would send a powerful message to the students in her charge."

Although this is an isolated case, this is a great example of our culture. Through out our history, the idea of "don't tread on me" has taken many forms, and continues to be the basis of our motivations as Americans. Joseph Frederick, the student that put up this banner, is not only testing his rights on free speech, but on his right to sue, make nonsense statements, be an asshole, and his right to not admit he was wrong. All traits of great Americans.

And BTW, Jesus was a total hippie. He would have taken them up on that.
