The U.S. Constitution - we parade it, but don't follow it

Freedom of speech abrogated at yesterday's Constitution Day Parade in Nevada City; apology by parade president (with supremely unconvincing explanation* from one of the co-announcers) ensues.

Evidence of Nevada County's dire need for civics education abounds in the story comments.

confession: I wasn't there.
hunch: Somebody leaned on Paul (the other co-announcer), to make him do this.
(actual knowledge: none)
(Tuesday update: accuracy of hunch: none)
(Wed. am update: I'm going to provisionally retract my retraction.)
