Bong Hits For Jesus

I firmly agree with the court’s ruling. The controversy inducing kid got what he deserved. Anytime a child is in school and is disturbing the peace of the other students, the staff has to assess that and take action. The argument was made that the student wasn’t on school campus, and therefore wasn’t “at” school, but as the court explained, “The event in question occurred during normal school hours and had been sanctioned by the principal as an approved social event at which the district's student conduct rules expressly applied. Under these circumstances, Frederick could not claim that he was not at school.”
The main argument was that the school had violated the student’s freedom of speech. Luckily there are already laws in order for that. As a school, full of young individuals who constantly try to test their waters, there has to be rules. If every student got to act and say what they wanted to because they would be backed up by the First amendment there would be chaos! Students are in a learning environment to learn, and learn the right things at that. Another child promoting drugs does not support that and SHOULD have the backing of the courts.
The article also explained that the court’s ruling was supported by reiterating: “Student expression may not be suppressed unless school officials reasonably conclude that it will materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school."
This has been tested over and over throughout high schools everywhere and been put into action for many previous circumstances. I completely agree with it.
