In January 2002, [[Alaska]] high school student Joseph Frederick was skipping school on the day of a school-sponsored and nationally televised event - an observation of the Olympic torch rally for that year's Winter Games in [[Salt Lake City]]. Frederick showed up at the event and unfurled a large banner that read "BONG HiTS 4 JESUS". Principal Deborah Morse confiscated the banner, and suspended Frederick for school for ten days. She later reduced his suspension for eight days.
