I've been struggling to figure out what I think about the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" case. If the student in question had been in school, I think the principal would have been within her powers to suspend him. I would give school administrators wide latitude to restrict speech in schools. The main purpose of schools is education, and I think administrators should be able to ban anything that can be reasonably said to undermine the educational purpose.
However, the kid was not in school. He was across the street.
There was a connection to a school-sponsored event, though.
On the other hand, does "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" really undermine a school's educational purpose?
Usually I have strong feelings on these things. Here, though, I'm lost.
