Abstract

On January 24, 2002, Joseph Frederick displayed a banner at the Olympic Torch Relay in Juneau, Alaska. The banner, continuing in the tradition of high school humor, read “BONG HiTS 4 JESUS.” Frederick’s attempt at humor during this “school-sponsored” and “school-supervised” event proved to be an unwise decision, as his fourteen-foot banner was confiscated and he was suspended for ten days. Apparently, the school principal, and presumably many others, did not find anything funny in Frederick’s cryptic banner.
