Bong Hits 4 Free Speech

An interesting debate at the NRO blogs: David French worries about the consequences of today's decision in Morse v. Frederick, while Matthew Franck disagrees. I think French is basically right, though Franck is smart to endorse the Thomas view that public school students have no free speech rights (I don't entirely agree with that view, but, as I'll explain in my column tomorrow, it's really the only coherent justification for the ruling in this case).
