MORSE V. FREDERICK: THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT APPLIED THE STANDARD FOR SCHOOL-SPONSORED SPEECH TO INDEPENDENT STUDENT SPEECH.
- Authors
Greenband, Jennifer W.
- Abstract
The article discusses a court case wherein a principal punished a student for holding up a banner that says "Bong Hits 4 Jesus," at a school event. After receiving a 10-day suspension for violating the school's policy against public expression that encourages the use of illegal substances, the student sued the principal and the school board. The Court ruled in favor of the school, stating that a school can censor student speech if its content is drug-related.
