Bong Hits 4 Jesus

Imagine the ACLU, conservative coalition of civil rights, constitutional law and religious organizations joining forces to defend a student’s rights to display a banner reading "Bong Hits 4 Jesus." Well, it’s happening today in the Supreme Court… your first amendment rights are up for debate. Read more [here], or stream an NPR piece by Nina Totenberg [here].

Parts of the story that make it even better:

It happened in alaska
It happened over five years ago

the insecurity that situations like these stem from (...ahem) is incredible. We live in a society of offense and getting offended, and I think in most cases it will be the fault of the person or people who get upset, angry, all hot and bothered etc.


(imagining you type "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" for the intent of thought provocation made me smile.)

Bong Hits 4 Jesus...what the hell was this kid thinking?

I mean, I'm more for expression of thought then anyone, but why do it in the first place? You know, that at least here and now, it's going to cause a hassle.
