I finally drove by it today. I was sorry to see it right by the play structure. The signage about abortion murder seemed to me nothing a child in elementary school needs to see.
Parking there is always crunched for parents with kids, as I know from taking a disabled child there. Whatever the first amendment rights, it's selfish to take park access away from kids by hogging the parking every day.
I think that the Supreme Court has allowed hate speech ...
(Sorry, I had to post that before the thought was finished)
I would need to review this again and open to correction, but IIRC
Generalized hate speech was allowable under the first, but hate speech directed at an individual and inciting violence or other violation of an individual's rights is not. So it depends if the hate has a specific target or is about a class of people.
There is a Supreme Court decision on this but I can't recall offhand which one it is.
Public figures enjoy fewer protections than private citizens too.
