He doesn't have freedom of speech. He is being coerced by people who are a little too used to bossing kids around all day every day and need to be reminded that the respect rules they undoubtedly have apply to them, too. It doesn't matter what day it is.

I happen to think today was a really good day to stand up to the flag-waving, troop-supporting, unwitting deputies of the thought police. Unfortunately, a lot of people let it pass. I was surprised to see the ever-shrinking group of local war protesters standing on their usual street corner today, and I felt guiltier than usual only driving by with a honk and a thumbs-up. Last week, there were half a dozen of them, including two young boys; today there were only two grownups. That's commitment.
