I don't think that the bonghits4jesus.com link should be in the references section; all it does is link to a cafepress page with 'Bong hits 4 Jesus' T-shirts on. The link is not informative in any way. I'm going to remove it. 82.35.16.220 09:20, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

The article, as of 12/3/06, has several inaccuracies. 1) Joseph Frederick was an adult at the time, 18 years old; 2) the relay event was not school sponsored, it was sponsored by the Coca-Cola company and the only contribution of the school district was that students were allowed to leave classes to watch; and 3) the relay event did not take place in a school parking lot, but on a public street. All these facts come from the official court record and are not controverted. D.K. Mertz, attorney for Joseph Frederick.

The relay was coke sponsored, but the school viewing was a school event, coke had nothing to do with it. The viewing was thew school parkinglot, not the street. I was there for the whole thing, got out of my history class for it -M^ask 03:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
