Student Free-Speech Rights Limited

The Supreme Court tightened limits on student speech Monday, ruling against
a high school student and his 14-foot-long "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banner.



Schools may prohibit student expression that can be interpreted as advocating
drug use, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court in a 5-4 ruling.

Joseph Frederick unfurled his homemade sign on a winter morning in 2002, as the
Olympic torch made its way through Juneau, Alaska, en route to the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

Frederick said the banner was a nonsensical message that he first saw on a snowboard.
He intended the banner to proclaim his right to say anything at all.
