Send Us Your Ideas!

The Planet Forward's TV special on April 15 was just the beginning!

They're ready for more videos, essays, podcasts, photos and songs with ideas on whether we should move away from fossil fuels and if so, how it should be done. That's the Planet Forward mission: using the web and television to give citizens a chance to discuss their ideas with experts and policymakers, because changes now on the drawing board are big ones, which could affect most of us and therefore call out for input from all of us.

We're excited to have Van Jones, President Obama's advisor for green jobs, on board with us for Planet Forward's web sequel, debuting May 21. If you'd like your idea on the formula for our energy future to make it to the White House, we urge you to send us your ideas no later than May 15 - the deadline for submitting contributions that could be chosen to be discussed on the web sequel.

Bong Hits 4 Jesus

In 2002, 18-year-old Juneau Douglas High School senior Joseph Frederick was suspended from school after displaying a banner during a school supervised event that read "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" along the route of the Winter Olympics torch. Frederick filed a lawsuit against JDHS claiming his first amendment rights had been violated. The case ended up in the Supreme Court, which ultimately ruled that a school principal may restrict student speech without violating the First Amendment.

Part of the settlement involved taping and broadcasting a student forum on free speech. That forum was held at the Juneau Douglas High School recently and 360 North will be airing it at 8pm on Wednesday, April 22. The forum was moderated by Stewart Jay, a professor at the University of Washington's Law School; and Ann Gifford, the School District's attorney.
