Strange bedfellows

Christian Century,  May 15, 2007  

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS: Conservative legal groups like the Christian Legal Society, Pat Robert son's American Center for Law and Justice and the Rutherford Institute are siding with the American Civil Liberties Union and Feminists for Free Expression in a free-speech case before the Supreme Court. Deborah Morse, Juneau School Board v.

Joseph Frederick pits a principal and school board against a student who unfurled a banner across from a high school in Alaska that read "Bong Hits 4 Jesus," a nonsensical phrase that some interpreted as promoting drug use. Conservatives have joined with the ACLU and other free-speech advocates because they believe that a school victory in this case would set a precedent for curtailing students from expressing their opposition in school to abortion, homosexuality or the teaching of evolution (Village Voice, April 9).
