"Bong hits for Jesus"

“Bong Hits for Jesus”

My opinion about this matter can go either way. I think this issue is more on the moral point of view rather than the lawful side of it. So we can go either way with this. Morally speaking I agree with the school/teachers side of the issue. Here we are trying to keep kids safe. Teach them what is right and wrong, good and bad by having events, programs, guest speakers etc… trying to develop a safe, drug free, violent free environment for the young generation. So of course having those actions going on across the street and promoting any kind of drug content however taken or perceived will hinder all purpose of the schools intentions.
Now on the other hand, there is the law for a reason, and that purpose is for the rights of the people. In this situation this is where and when the First Amendment comes to place. We do have the right, the right of “freedom of speech”. So therefore we are legally allowed to do such protests. If it goes to these measures then “technically” there is nothing we can do since the student is protected by the law.
That’s why we can go back and forth with these circumstances and that I feel that it’s a catch 22 for the most part.
