JUST LOOK AROUND, FOLKS

Re: March 20 editorial "Latest definition of free speech hinges on 
wacky teen prank."

The American-Statesman mentions that the incident in Alaska occurred 
off school property but failed to mention that it was an organized 
school function. The liberals and the American Civil Liberties Union 
are fighting for this student, who held up a sign that read "Bong 
Hits 4 Jesus."

I wonder what would have happened if his sign would have read 
something like "People need Jesus." I'm sure the liberals and the 
ACLU would be quick to have that banner torn down and the student 
charged with some crime.

And people are still asking what's wrong with today's youths. Just 
take a look around; it is not hard to see.
