Candace — actually, under the Supreme Court’s ridiculous ruling in the Bong Hits 4 Jesus case, the school might (unfortunately) have a chance at this.

(Brief reminder: The Bong Hits case was about a student who, when his school let students attend an event during school hours, held up a sign that read “Bong Hits 4 Jesus.” School officials took the sign away and suspended him, and he sued on First Amendment grounds.)

Now, don’t get me wrong; the Bong Hits student was being obnoxious during a school function, and the teachers had every right to demand he behave respectfully and appropriately. But the school didn’t argue that, and the Court didn’t rule that. It ruled that the content of his speech was the problem: “A principal may, consistent with the First Amendment, restrict student speech at a school event, when that speech is reasonably viewed as promoting illegal drug use.”

In other words, a term paper or a flyer arguing intelligently for drug legalization or use can be subject to disciplinary action. Why not a flyer that jokingly suggests you should aim guns at hippies and Communists?
