If you don't know the story already, a witty (and apparently litigious) high school student unrolled a large banner stating, simply: "Bong Hits for Jesus" in front of his school. ,,,with a few words changed it could have been a political or religous expression.
Do those few words make a difference? All in all, I think speech rights are fairly safe for now.
Why did they grant cert? The appeals court ruled for the student. Wouldn't freedom of speech be safter if they decided the circuit was so obviously corrent that it wasn't worth reviewing? Why did they decide to review it? Is the student really interested in money? How much was he awarded? RE: Whose Bong Would Jesus Hit? |
