1st off: 1A applies to CONGRESS, not states, or people, or colleges, or businesses. They can curtail “speech” if they want. So much of this is moot.

[MeganC]

The First Amendment applies to all levels of government in the United States because the First Amendment has been legally incorporated.

See this explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_Rights

So it is NOT ‘moot’.

[polymuser]

So a public school singing Christian hymns, with a Virgin Mary icon on a teacher’s desk or having a pregame prayer is also moot for 1A. It’s not Congress.
