Just to argue with their understanding of free speech doesn’t address the Constitutional protection for free exercise of religion.

It precedes free speech in the first amendment and is a separate right.

Free exercise is the right to be YOUR religion 24/7 wherever you happen to be.

But no one stood up to this dirty little state supremacist, did they? He should have been pointedly ignored.

Your first mistake was thinking the Constitution is worth the paper it was written on these days.

Step back Citizen peon!

Hopefully these sorts of people will have a lot less voice during a Trump administration.

One visit by 50 Justice department personnel should reduce these symptoms.

Free exercise is the right to be YOUR religion 24/7 wherever you happen to be.

I think you need a civics class.

The First Amendment only applies to Congress (and, though I disagree with the USSC, to State Governments) restricting the Free Exercise of religion. I can restrict it all I want on my Private Property which should be obvious to you.

Because of essentially unrelated USSC decisions Clemson, being a Public University (i.e. a derivative of a State Government) cannot restrict "Free Exercise," but like shouting "FIRE," in a crowded auditorium, the right to "Free Exercise" can be limited in some ways. E.g. Muslims cannot chop off infidels heads.
