"right to a crime free school zone"

Which amendment was that?
Speech is not a crime,
freedom of expression is in the costitution
and moreover is a natural right
just like determining personal consumption.

How about a big ol' Mohammed cartoon?

Yeah, but that cartoon would be a hate crime.

Principal Deborah Morse seized the banner and suspended the 18-year-old for 10 days

The fact that it was a woman doesn't surprise me. As a mother of two boys, I've had more trouble with female principals.

On that link it tells me that Australia is a small island off the coast of New Zealand.

I was enjoying it until then.

If the guy offered a bonghit to a minor, OK.
But, he didn't. He held up a banner which
offended some peon who proceeded to violate
the right of free speech of a minor. This
kind of weak mind should not be in a position
of power over minors or anyone. He should
be taken out and publicly flogged for his
crime against this child. He should lose his
job for the financial damage which his ignorant
actions cost the school system and taxpayers.

It's HUMOR, for crying out loud. Don't be so thinned skinned. He's a funny guy. Give him a chance.

LOL!
Sure, O.K.

I thought this 'religion' stuff was supposed to be series.

The appeals court said the banner was protected speech because it did not disrupt school activity and was displayed off school grounds during a non-curricular activity.

That's the key.

Actually, that should have said "she."
But, I have changed my mind anyway.
She should be tried for terrorism.
She squashed the right of free speech
in front of the student body, thereby
terrorizing them all. Will any of them
ever be able to speak up in public again?
If I were a lawyer I would start a class
action suit against her and the school.
Selective violation of civil liberties by
employees of the state in order to terrorize
the people into complying with the law is
hypocrisy institutionalized and thereby
her act was an act of treason as it
diminishes the authority of the state.

One of the gifts that God gives us, when we are Born Again into the Spirit of the Lord, is an abundant life. And that's not just series, its hugh. :)

"Abundant - Present in great quantity". As in "great quantities" of life.

"Some sects believe Jesus was actually a sacred mushroom, not an actual physical being..."

Did not know that! But, I did know that some believe
"that Christianity has its origins and nature in fertility cults of the Ancient near east centred on a sacred Mushroom. "---
