While watching the Olympic torch relay in 2002, high school student Joseph Frederick unveiled a banner that read "Bong Hits 4 Jesus." Principal Deborah Morse confiscated the banner and suspended Frederick for ten days. On Tuesday, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Morse's suspension was not a violation of Fredrick's free speech.

First of all, I can't believe the Supreme Court had to rule on a stupid high school prank. Even though he was on a school field trip at the time, Fredrick was standing on a public street when he displayed the banner. His actions did not endanger his fellow classmates. This ruling has set a disturbing precedent for what students can or cannot say in the future.

But there is a small silver lining in the judges' ruling: they stated the judgment would have been different if the message on Frederick's banner had been political or social in nature. So for all you future rebels out there, stick with "Bomb Hits 4 Jesus -- Go USA!" and you should be in the clear.
