It's fairly easy to call up references to bongs on the internet.

• Cypress Hill's rap Hits from the Bong is a famous musical reference to this form of smoking.
• The guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante, can be heard taking a hit from a bong at the beginning of "For Air" on his second solo album, Smile from the Streets You Hold.

From same source: "A bong, also commonly known as a water pipe, is a smoking device, generally used to smoke cannabis,"

Another: Dr Bongs provides a complete range of cannabis accessories from all the old favourites to new and exciting ideas

I suppose that the expression "bong hits" is understood by just about everybody, except those who don't take the common meaning of word usage and apply it.

The principal of the school in this instance was right on target. It was not rocket science.

While it was perhaps immature and adolescent, it was still a pro-drug message, and the principal was correct in finding it disruptive.

Clinton would say, "What is the meaning of 'is.'"

Those who work with kids day in and day out know what's being said/implied/hinted at. Any court that wants to play foolish "what's the meaning of 'is'" games is discounting the obvious.

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

• The Whole Wheat Bread song Grass features samples of bong bubbling.
• In the beginning of "Left Hand Suzuki Method," a song by the Gorillaz, a water bong can be heard being lit and used.
• In the song "Smoke Two Joints" by Sublime, a bong can be heard at the beginning of the song.
• Immortal Technique mentions a gravity bong in his song Leaving the Past.
• "Humanity's gone/smoked up in a gravity bong/by a Democrat, Republican, Cheech and Chong.
• A bong hit can be heard at a break in the song "Shake Your Rump" on the 1989 Beastie Boys album Paul's Boutique. It is shortly followed by an explosive sound effect. The clip is often censored at concerts, and was replaced by a scratch breakdown performed by DJ Hurricane in the music video for the song.
• In album "Dub Side Of The Moon", a dub remix of "dark side of the moon" by Pink Floyd,the remixed song "Money" uses a bong sound as loop instead of coins.
• Seconds 28-39 of Madvillain's song "America's Most Blunted" featuring MF DOOM/Madlib(Quasimoto) features the sound of a bong being hit, most likely by MF DOOM himself
• A bong hit can be heard at the end of the song "Among the Sleep" by the rapper Cage.
• The Kottonmouth Kings have a whole song on their Koast II Koast cd, rapping about "Taking bong tokes".

"There are none so blind as those who refuse to see."

There are none so dull as those who have their answer to the question they pose and ask it anyway, court notwithstanding.

So what does "Bong hits 4 Jesus" mean? Wouldn't the meaning of the WHOLE PHRASE be the issue in this case?

Please, enlighten us all, including the SCOTUS, who seemed as clueless as I am about this phrase, which I understand the author claimed was nonsense.

Is this a popular phrase nationwide with students all over the country? Wow. How hip are those in-the-middle of nowhere kids in Juneau, yu know?

"it was still a pro-drug message, and the principal was correct in finding it disruptive."

If any part is taken as a message then the whole message must be considered and they do not want to go there. An unholy war and an unconstitutional civil war is being waged upon a select group of Christians in this country. This was more a pro-Christian message than a pro-drug message particularly because we are talking about an herb. It is not like the drug approved by the FDA which was designed by man to kill human beings in the womb. It is a God given herb cultivated by man since the beginning of time which could free us from oil dependance while helping to feed the world. The principal acted out of fear and trampled a citizen's right to free speech. She deserves harsh punishment.

"There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. "

Indeed, many are blind to the unholy war waged by false
and heretical Christians through their DEAmen. Some here
on the FreeRepublic forum even cheer them on in their
aggressions. What has happened to the freedom of Religion
which this Nation was founded upon? You even deride the
freedom of speech repeatedly. You should celebrate with
those performers and sing along or go and preach your
heresy of evil things from the pulpit like your predecessors
the Manicheans. But, do not for one moment believe that
Jesus stands at your side as you persecute his children for
the possession, propagation or protection of a gift from God.
