I'll also answer your question directly. Some years ago before I retired as a lawyer, when my eldest two (both daughters) were 5 and 3 respectively, I brought them to a regular protest against a particularly nasty little abortion mill in Connecticut. I walked them up the sidewalk to the property line of the mill, knowing that this would draw the immediate attention of a thirtyish man who was then a biology instructor at Yale and a regular as a deathscort at the mill, the worst of numerous deathscorts who well knew who I was as a lawyer for the pro-lifers.
Just about in Mr. Deathscort's face, and holding my daughters by the hand, I told them to get a good look at this guy and his antics to see what our enemies are bound to become and as a lesson on what not to become. To my surprise, he did not try to punch me (I was hoping to sue him and the mill and open him up on discovery). I had plenty of backup to take care of the kids if he got out of hand. Many years later, all of my kids are quite pro-life. If anyone thought to instigate any "child endangerment" nonsense, including the Department of Children and Family Services, I would have owned Mr. Deathscort, and anyone else involved.
My youngest just started college and the elder two have graduated. Te eldest will soon be married and makes me look like a liberal.
And, yes, prayer in public places is generally constitutionally protected activity. So is speech. We just need fresh young aggressive lawyers to enforce such freedoms with relentless action.
The trade off is that WE have to put up with public prayer and public speech with which WE disagree, a price well worth paying. We do NOT need to grovel in fear before our barbarian enemies. BTW, the First Amendment was not needed to protect public recitations of Mary Had a Little Lamb although it does. It was meant also for sterner stuff.
As to your tagline, it is about time WE stop being nice, civilized, oh sooooo middle class respectable wimps and started to be aggressive and at least dangerous to the agendas of our enemies. In case you wonder, I am deadly serious.
Right on. Thank you.
