I agree with what the court had ruled. A student was at a school event and he made a banner to show. I do not know how else this banner could have been interpreted any other way other than promoting drug use. The boy, Friedrich, banner clearly stated “Bong Hits for Jesus”. Bong hits clearly displays the use of drugs and the use of drugs for any cause whether good or bad still requires the use of drugs, which is against law. I don’t know why the boy would even bring it up at a school function and what point he was trying to get across as the meaning of his banner.

The argument between the teacher, Morse, and the boy, Friedrich, was Friedrich felt that his 1st amendment right was abused because Morse had confiscated his banner from him and was not able to express himself following the event he was also suspended for displaying the banner at a school campus.

What I do not get is the only point having Friedrich’s constitutional right violated and let off the hook was that he was at a school event. Since he was at a school event with teachers supervising the teachers were allowed to confiscate his banner and restrict him from speaking because he may have been promoting but if he had been anywhere else it would have been perfectly fine for him to do what he did.

All I have to say is why do people always think they have a right to do whatever they want or a right to do get away with anything they do. We were all given a brain and a mouth that shuts why don’t we try to think a little more and talk a little less.
