EOC-Bong Hits for Jesus
For an argument like this, I would have to agree with the ruling, in so many different ways, shapes, and forms. Although I do see some points in the students’ point of view, but only to a certain extent. First off, I do not agree with the fact that the student used a religious idol, Jesus, as a part of pro drug abuse. To me, that is just very inconsiderate, disrespectful, and just wrong. I am a very religious member, and I see that as very disturbing and very inappropriate. Those kinds of comments should be kept to oneself. Secondly, I do see where the student is coming from, when he says comments about freedom of speech. I agree, he does have the right to say what he feels and believes, but where he did it, and how he did it was very illegal. Marijuana is an illegal drug in our country, and by advertising it through your freedom of speech, could get you drug busted anywhere, and without a doubt, it will get you in trouble at school, during a school activity.
In the article, it says, “the US Supreme Court rejected Frederick's argument that this was not a school speech case," and I do take that into consideration to believe that to be correct. The student could actually say how he feels, and express It, but only where the setting is to be appropriate, and where others will not be offended of or influenced in a bad way. So in conclusion, I do support the ruling, without a doubt. Frederick had warnings, and suspensions for a reason, and instead of stopping there, and understanding what he did wrong, he obnoxiously made it worse for himself and for his fellow classmates that are now influenced into pro-drug abuse.
