Censorship is such a lonely word...

This article from Arizona Republic outlines the latest attempt to change the 9/11 memorial to reflect the right-wing's infantile view of history. I wish I knew the answer to the question of why the Legislature has the power to do this?

Built with $500,000 in private donations, its sweeping design of concrete and steel includes rubble from the World Trade Center and Pentagon and dust from
the Pennsylvania field where the final hijacked plane crashed. Sunlight passes through 54 inscriptions laser-cut into the memorial's cylindrical face, making
the phrases visible on the concrete below.

I cannot understand why a privately funded monument would not be protected by the First Amendment? The word censorship is thrown around a lot just like fascism and Nazi, but this truly is censorship. When the government seeks editorial control over a privately funded project, it is textbook censorship. It is OK for people to have different view points. People are not hurt by reading things with which they disagree.

Every member of the legislature who voted for this bill is not only unpatriotic, but also cares nothing for the rights guaranteed to us under the Constitution.
