You seem to keep missing a very important element in the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.

The “government” can not be used as a mechanism to force the people to listen to “your” speech or “my” speech, nor can they silence either of us.
That is a function reserved to the people, in a civil society.

Our society is quickly becoming uncivil, due to radical elements of our government acceding to the whims of a vocal radical minority, in defining civil society down to absurd deviant levels.

The correction will be bloody, as it has always been, as it is now in other places, and has always been, throughout human history.

Sigh.

Yes I didn’t read the article just the headline. I mistakenly thought it was about another story in Texas where some atheists wanted to put up a display and were forbidden by the government because it would be offensive to Christians. I think these radical groups should get a life.
