and Texas became a state in December of 1865, after the war ended.

Sorry. That was a brain misfire. Scratch that and I have to take it back. I’m sure others are going to notice that too; perhaps I ought to tell the mods to delete the post.

Yup, if you’ve got an warrant outstanding, prolly a good idea to fly under the radar, not by flipping off and offending every other driver on the road.

Free speech is still subject to reasonable and content-neutral restrictions on how it is delivered. So as long as you uniformly restrict bullhorning at a school you’re fine.
