Supreme Court Prediction

I have a guess on the outcome of the case from Alaska, in which the (now former) high school student sued his school district after he was suspended for standing across from the school during the "parade" for the Olympic torch, holding up a sign that read "Bong Hits 4 Jesus"

The high court is hearing arguments right now over the former student's free speech argument.

I say he loses. Even if, as he argues, his silly sign was a free speech experiment, the district will win on the argument that his sign promoted drug use...even if it was drug use for Jesus.
