The Supreme Court said an Alaska school acted properly when it disciplined a student for displaying what school officials contend was a pro-drug banner at a public event. In a decision issued June 25, 2007, the high court concluded that school officials did not violate the student's First Amendment rights. While the ACLJ strongly disagrees with the student's message, it filed an amicus brief in the case urging the high court to uphold the free speech rights of the student arguing that a decision in favor of the school district would empower school districts across the country to ban future student speech they considered offensive - including speech advocating Christian beliefs.
