Supreme Court to take up "Bong Hits for Jesus"

This coming Monday, the United States Supreme Court will hear arguments in a First Amendment case brought by Joseph Frederick. Future law students will forever remember Frederick's case as the "Bong Hits for Jesus" case.

Frederick was a high school student in Juneau, Alaska in 2002 when he decided to unfurl a 14 foot banner saying "Bong Hits for Jesus" while on a school outing. He was suspended for 5 days, and his suspension was doubled to 10 days, when he quoted Thomas Jefferson in objecting to the suspension.

Here's my question. What kind of idiot principal suspends a student for quoting Thomas Jefferson?
