Taken from Wikipedia:
Morse v. Frederick, 551 U.S. 393 (2007), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held 5—4 that the First Amendment does not prevent educators from suppressing student speech, at a school—supervised event, that is reasonably viewed as promoting illegal drug use.[1]
In 2002, high school principal Deborah Morse suspended 18—year—old Joseph Frederick after he displayed a banner reading "BONG HiTS 4 JESUS" across the street from the school during the 2002 Olympic Torch Relay.[2] Frederick sued, claiming his constitutional rights to free speech were violated. His suit was dismissed by the federal district court, but on appeal, the Ninth Circuit reversed, concluding that Frederick's speech rights were violated.
