Críticas:
"A rewarding and engrossing read. Highly recommended."-- (05/01/2011) "By following one case very closely over a long time [Foster] finds opportunities to discuss a variety of issues involved in constitutional litigation. . . . This is an interesting analysis that clearly reveals there is more to the law than the pronouncement of high courts."-- (07/01/2011) "Before Sarah Palin, Alaska gave us Morse v. Frederick, the 2007 Supreme Court case conventionally known as "Bong Hits 4 Jesus." Foster's book puts the case in context. The precipitious slide in Supreme Court protection for free speech in high school since Tinker in the 1960s is only part of the story.--John Brigham, University of Massachusetts, Amherst--John Brigham "Dangerous, disruptive, unprotected speech or a sophomoric grab for TV face time? 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
Reseña del editor:
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.
