bong hits 4 jesus

There is something rather refreshing, infuriating, crazy or may be its just a reflection on the values of our cousins across the big pond that this banner and the right to display it outside a school has gone all the way to the Supreme Court.

As fellow bloggers well know a bong is a pipe for the smoking of bhang, black, blast, blow, blunts, Bob Hope, bush, dope, draw, ganja, grass, hash, hashish, hemp, herb, marijuana, pot, puff, Northern Lights, resin, sensi, sinsemilla, shit, skunk, smoke, soap, spliff, wacky backy, or weed depending on your preference.

Jo Frederick thought it would be fun to fly this banner as an Olympic parade passed by his school in 2002. His head teacher was not amused and banned the banner. She thought it did not fit with the school's anti drug policy and could lead to unruliness.

Jo refused to take it down and was suspended for 10 days. He did not mean to mock Christians or promote hash. He then sued for breach of his rights under the First Amendment and the case has gone all the way to the Supreme Court. Judgement is still to be given.

I am sure Lionel Hutz is in this somewhere. But as we all know America today England tomorrow.

So Cornish Pixie and the Amiable Amy beware but if you are told to take down that poster which says "Bong hits 4 haribo" and want some help then look no further.
