There are so many problems with this I almost don't know where to begin.
First of all, the court is essentially saying your Constitutional rights are suspended if someone else could possibly react violently towards you for exercising them. It would seem to be the problem lies with the potentially threatening protester so they're the ones who should be restrained here, not the person lawfully exercising their rights.
The second issue I have is why this school is even having a Cinco de Mayo celebration. It's not Mexico's independence day and it's not even widely celebrated throughout the country. It's mostly concentrated in one region where the battle took place. It's a holiday that's been primarily adopted by white American liberals under some misguided notion that they're somehow promoting diversity. This isn't Mexico and just because someone has Mexican DNA doesn't mean they necessarily give a shit about this holiday. That they even assume they would is frankly racist, in my opinion. I'm half Italian and half German and I couldn't tell you what the hell they celebrate over there other than Oktoberfest. Under the guise of celebrating diversity, they are, in fact, promoting division, when they should be fostering unity. Even the Latino kids at this high school are Americans first and that's the message the school should be sending, that everyone there is American, whether their family has been here for 20 years or 200.
