Don't Mess With the Almighty
The Supreme Court this past week ruled in favor of an Alaska principle who suspended a student for unfurling a banner at a school parade that read "Bong Hits 4 Jesus." Justice Roberts, in writing for the majority, declared, "It was reasonable for (the principal) to conclude that the banner promoted illegal drug use-- and that failing to act would send a powerful message to the students in her charge." I'm guessing that the issue wasn't drug use at all. What offended the school principle and the judges, and remained unspoken in all the ensuing brouhaha, was bringing Jesus into it. Had the banner read something like, say, "Bong Hits 4 Ever," the principle would never have known what the darn thing meant. In fact, what the heck does it mean?

Ok, where is my comment. I was certain that it posted. there is a plot out there to get me!
Love this Jeremy, John C. Had a long comment but it must be floating in space somewhere.
Hmm...
I suspect that you are correct - the principal took offense for Jesus, but that is because he not only doesn't "get" Bong hits, he doesn't get Jesus either.
Jesus, welcomed all - many of whom, I suspect, that principal would have liked to have suspended, lol! I am certain, Jesus would have welcomed Bongheads being for Him, too.
In that spirit, I guess I have to give the principal the benefit of a doubt, though, and assume that his abhorrance of the drug culture's effect on his young students was his only motivation.
Yeah, I'm a rabid Gemini, LOL!
