Protesting at Fallen Soldiers' Funerals
By now, most of us have seen or heard about the group from a church in Kansas who protest at US soldiers' funerals. A professor at CMU has announced that he has invited the group to speak to his journalism class regarding the First Amendment right. (Click Here to Read the Article) I have a brother who graduated from West Point, is currently a Captain serving in Afghanistan right now. I have been to a military funeral for a fellow Beaverton alum who was killed in action. I have very strong feelings on this, but would like the gather the comments of the group. Should this group be allowed to protest at funerals?

I think that those people are sick! It is disrespectful and wrong! I know that we have freedom of speech, but some things should not be allowed. If that was my son, brother, or husband I would have lost it! Soldiers put their life on the line for us, and no one should have the right to mock or protest their political agenda at such a horrible event. This makes me sick.
