This was an interesting news report on tv tonight. A high school student on a school trip to watch the passing of the Olympic Torch through town held up a banner suddenly that said “Bong hits for Jesus”. The principal of the student suspended him for violating school policy in promoting drug use. The student said in defense that he was practicing his right to freedom of speech. It has now gone to the Supreme Court to be decided if anyone’s rights were violated and to determine how far the actions of a school administrator can go. A very prominent U.S. lawyer has taken the case pro bono (for free) because this ruling could set precident for other cases where students could potentially sue administrators personally despite the fact they are only following school division policies. What do you think?  The student is being represented by the ACLU. Look that group up. What do they stand for and why have they taken his case?

 There are several videos to watch here and each tries to promote their side but do they do it fairly or do they use language to sway opinion?

Also, if you look on youtube and search “Bong hits for Jesus” you’ll get several clips of this. The ACLU has their own video they have posted on there. What is that called when one side promotes their cause in some media form?
