And you demonstrated this by posting a photo of the government protecting the rights of its citizens?

How is using armed Federal soldiers to end Freedom of Association protecting the rights of its citizens?

I'm making what may be imperfect assumptions. I'm assuming this involved a public school, erected and operated with public funds. I don't believe that Freedom of Association was intended to apply to funded public facilities.

If this were a private pool, or a private softball league on a private field, or a private country club, then I'm prepared to bring Freedom of Association into the argument.

If it's a public pool supported by public funds, I don't believe Freedom of Association permits denying use by Jewish citizens; I don't believe Freedom of Association permits a municipal softball league to deny participation by a Buddhist team; and I don't believe Freedom of Association permits a public school to deny access to black students.
