Neo-Nazi March vs. Jewish Suburb: Freedom's Worst Parade Ever
Back in the late 1970s, NPR's Scott Simon took a nostalgia trip to a neighborhood showdown that reads like a history book’s awkward footnote: a neo-Nazi group demanded the First Amendment right to stroll through a predominantly Jewish Chicago suburb. Imagine the negotiations! Somewhere between the chants and protests, this case etched itself into the annals of 'Why is this happening?' Scott's recall paints a vivid picture of legal madness—where the right to free speech ended up marching alongside pure absurdity, proving that sometimes, the Constitution hosts the weirdest parades.

It’s the legal equivalent of inviting your least favorite neighbor to a block party just because ‘It’s their right.’ Spoiler: the chips immediately vanish.
Nothing says 'freedom' like legally mandated awkwardness and public annoyance. America’s cocktail for chaos is served chilled with a side of irony.
