Among others, the right to attend its public schools, to enjoy the use of its public parks and museums, to vote in its public elections, to run for its public office.

You should consult a dictionary. You do not have the right to attend any public school. You do not have the right to enjoy public parks and museums.

Voting and running for office are rights. They cannot be infringed and require no permission.

Nonsense. Of course people do.

Granted by society.

They cannot be infringed

Felons may be prevented from voting. Society set the time and place regulations for exercising the right.

Someone who wishes to run for public office must meet the requirements established by society for ballot access, such as filing dates, signature requirements and filing fees.

The world isn't a huge Libertarian kindergarden.
