This isn’t first amendment issue. Until the government of certain cities shuts down Chic Fil-A, the first amendment isn’t involved. To reiterate the 1st amendment: “CONGRESS shall make no law…abdriging the freedom of speech.” The Fourteenth Amendment applied this to the states. So, basically all state, local and federal institutions must respect this right. But, this doesn’t necessarily apply to private actors unless such an institution has some public aspect to it (like people can protest in private shopping malls) or gets public funding.

Bill Bigelow of the radical teacher organization Rethinking Schools, wrote that we need to “rethink” the 4th of July. This “progressive” teacher has declared war on fireworks.
The Fourth of July “……
Whiner? This person is telling the truth. July Fourth is a cover for extreme patriotism which is used to create war hysteria supporting current wars and pushing new conflict making it seem good. This is atrocious because war is good for “absolutely nothing” as Edwin Starr sung. It just breeds destruction, death and personal loss. Not good for a civilized society. I think you don’t understand the point being made here.
