Description

"In January 2002, the Olympic Torch Relay visited Alaska on its way to the Winter Games. When the relay runner and accompanying company camera cars passed Juneau-Douglas High School, senior Joseph Frederick and several friends unfurled a fourteen-foot banner reading 'BONG HiTS 4 JESUS.' This book chronicles the events that followed: Frederick's suspension, the subsequent suit against the school district, and the escalation of a local conflict into a federal case. [It examines] the boundaries of free speech in an American high school"--Provided by publisher.
