The High Court

Whoa, Dude! Wouldn't it be, like, totally twisted if this went to the Supreme Court?

The 1970s were a strange decade. The Vietnam War ended. Drug use didn't. Quite a few people found religion during that decade, and then just had to tell everyone about their discovery.

So the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" case now before the U.S. Supreme Court has a very 1970s vibe to it, at least for me. On the surface, the case is about a young man who had his silly and irreverent banner torn down, and then was suspended by his high school principal.

Big deal.

But in this case it really is a big deal because the Supreme Court's ruling in this case could easily change the level of free expression that students can engage in on public high school campuses.

We discussed this case after listening to a National Public Radio story about it.
