You and all of the library employees are city employees. One morning you receive a letter from the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). The letter requests that it be allowed to conduct its annual business meeting in one of the meeting rooms at the library. The letter explains that it will be a peaceful meeting and that all those in attendance will be dressed in normal business attire (no white garb or hoods). The library frequently permits various organizations (ACLU, NAACP, DAR, etc) to use its meeting rooms with adequate notice. You look at the calendar and determine that the meeting room is available on the day requested by the KKK. Ch. 10
