Overview"In January 2002, for the first time, the Olympic Torch Relay visited Alaska on its way to the Winter Games. When the relay runner and accompanying camera cars passed Juneau-Douglas High School, senior Joseph Frederick and several friends unfurled a fourteen-foot banner reading ""BONG HiTS 4 JESUS."" An in-depth look at student rights within a public high school, this book chronicles the events that followed: Frederick's suspension, the subsequent suit against the school district, and, ultimately, the escalation of a local conflict into a federal case. Brought to life through interviews with the principal figures in the case, Bong Hits 4 Jesus is a gripping tale of the boundaries of free speech in an American high school."

Foster's fascinating and comprehensive book about Morse v. Frederick . . . walks readers through every stage of a case that resulted in the US Supreme Court establishing a 'messy precedent' that may deeply affect First Amendment speech rights for years to come. Sensitive in its portrayal of both students' rights and school authority, Bong Hits 4 Jesus . . .considers whether this recalibration of student speech rights is a major retreat. --Jill Norgren, City University of New York<br><br>--Jill Norgren Author InformationJames C.
