The corporation owns the property, the corporation has no rights under the Constitution, only individuals do.

The corporation (and therefore the property) is ultimately owned by shareholders, who delegate the exercise of their property rights to the company's management.

Time after time cases are won on this issue by kids in public schools who have been told they could not wear t-shirts with Confederate flags or religious messages.

Totally different. A public school is a government entity, and therefore explicitly limited by the Constitution.

There are also numerous cases, three of which I have been personlly involved in as a paralegal, where an employee as been told he could not have religious or political symbols in his office or cubicle, and the employee wins.

Courts are wrong all the time.

But those shareholders cannot be held liable for any damage due to the way their property rights are exercised. Thus corporate "rights" are not the same as individual rights. Corporate "rights" can be restricted or removed by law. Indivdual ones are not subject to prior restraint, but the individual can be held liable for the consequences of exercising those rights.

So what you are saying is that rights are collective. Who has rights, and when they have them should be decided by a majority. And when a person enters one of these "your rights stop here" zones, owned by a collective majority, they cease to be protected by the Bill of Rights.

Just trying to clarify your point.
