As is typical of those who rely on NewsMax... the rest of the story.
Hutchinson said the ban was supposed to only deal with banners and signs “affixed to real property or fixtures” and not signs or banners held by a person.
“That should have been more clearly stated,” Hutchinson wrote in the email.
I dont want to see a bunch of racist hateful signs put up everywhere.
They still have a right to carry them. However, if they are requesting to place their billboards or signs on public property, I think the state has a right to refuse them. Does McDonald's have a right to put a huge sign in a public library or school?
Define educated? Having a degree? Perhaps they hold more degrees, but they certainly have a problem with spelling and reading comprehension.
Because a couple people held up signs at a rally that allegedly had misspelled words on them? If this is anything like the claims of racism that some of you constantly make based on 4 or 5 pictures of signs that were taken years ago then I'm not too worried.

Actually, your link proves that they're right and the ban wasn't clear.

The legal counsel for the City of Coldwater said he anticipates working out a solution to the lawsuit filed by a tea party group that had its signs banned from a city park without going to court. Attorney John Hutchinson said in an email he will be working with the attorney of the Common Sense Patriots of Coldwater to come up with an amendment to the ban. Hutchinson said the ban was supposed to only deal with banners and signs “affixed to real property or fixtures” and not signs or banners held by a person. “That should have been more clearly stated,” Hutchinson wrote in the email.
Hutchinson stated he would work with the tea party group’s attorney to get language that would clarify the policy and he believes the City Council would adopt the amendment.
The ban they created applied to all signs, not just those being posted.

The article said the signs were.
The suit said the Patriots met five times in the park carrying messages such as "No More Taxes," "Give Me Liberty . . . Not Debt," and "Born Free . . . Taxed to Death."
So you sea racist is no more taxes, you see hate with give me liberty, you think born free is racist.

Reading is fundamental and so is basic comprehension.
"Hutchinson said the ban was supposed to only deal with banners and signs “affixed to real property or fixtures” and not signs or banners held by a person" but it doesn't. The law or ban that they passed affects ALL signs but that wasn't their intention so they intend to amend the ban to cover ONLY signs posted and not carried.
The city admitted the law wasn't clear and they're working to amend it, they wanted to stop signs from being posted in the park but were fine with people carrying signs but the language of the law isn't clear and the Tea Party spoke up about it in the form of a law suit.
