Bong hits 4 jesus

This is a interesting case to me because it boiled right down to constitutional rights. Now to me there are a verity of issues that are emplace here however I will agree with the principle on this one under the principle of law that We as American Citizens herby are given the freedom and right to do as we please up until it infringes upon the rights of others. Now that being said the principles Ideas where not misplaced however his all around approach was wrong. That being said the Authority was clearly in the wrong as far as not presenting the fact that posting the banner was a violation or rights upon others as well as solicitation of Illegal Drugs on grounds where Minors are present. Had this been made clear and the consequences of the actions brought forth the student may have actually backed down However without doing that the Authority at large did leave an opening allowing for a argument of first amendment rights. That being said he left a loop hole as well as to some extenuate did violate the constitutional rights. "While children assuredly do not 'shed their constitutional rights ... at the schoolhouse gate,' . . . the nature of those rights is what is appropriate for children in school." was used and frankly It is correct under any terms that students should and DO have the rights of any other citizen of the United States of America. That being said in this particular case it Is hard to state that the student was in the wrong for challenging the statement So both sides have both Rights and wrongs. That being said I will side on the Childs side under the violation of first amendment however under the reasoning behind the Authority figure I will state their actions are not In the complete wrong but should be more refined In the future to prevent such problems.
