KKK to hold rally at gettysburg

• "The Ku Klux Klan has been granted a permit to hold a rally at the Gettysburg battlefield next month and the opposition has come out swinging. "
• As one man, whose great-great-great-grandfather was in the Battle of Gettysburg, puts it to CBS 21: "To have the KKK come here is obnoxious. To speak with as much emotion as I can get without swearing ... to me it's abhorrent they would come to this battlefield to do anything."

Part II

• "The National Park Service, however, explained its "mission in preserving and protecting the historic resources at Gettysburg includes making them available to all Americans, even those whose views are contrary to the majority of the American public."
• "And as CBS 21 reports, the KKK took to Gettysburg once before; police were needed to patrol a rally in 2006, though no serious incidents were reported.

In the article the klu klax klan is said to be heading to Gettysburg for a Rally, but is it against their freedom of Speech if they want to express themselves during this Rally.

I believe the Klu Klax Klan have the right to speak their minds at a Rally because it is the right as an American, as long as violence isn't created, their freedom isn't taken away from them.

The Constitution protects those who want their rights as American's be protected. Which is what the First Amendment does for everyone in America, no matter their religion, race or what they have to say. Many believe the Klu Klax Klan shouldn't be able to go to Gettysburg in the first place because to them it is as if they are just mocking that area of history, but we as the people should know as long as it is peaceful and no riots start everyone has the privilege to speak their mind and do what is their right.

Part of The First Amendment protects you from government action suppressing your right to free speech. It does not protect you from private individuals negative reaction to your speech.

In Conclusion there is also another kind of speech that can also take the privilege of free speech from a person without causing a riot and that is known as 'Hate Speech.' Which is known to emotionally disturb and hurt others to the point where they think they are not worth anything and I believe if we all worked on it maybe we can make this world a little better, little by little. No matter what race or religion we believe in, no one should put others in shame.

Thank you and Goodnight
