35. So a memorial for Woonsocket firefighters that died

existed before the Woonsocket firefighters?

If it is on government property, the governemnt has to make sure it adheres to the constitutional requirements of the government. Just like students speaking at a graduation. They are using the government's mic so the government has to make sure the speech is OK.

And with every post you make on here, you contradict your statement that you know about First Amendment law.
