I can understand and appreciate the Mayor's concern, even though I disagree with his position. We cannot let hate force us to emulate those whose animus, hostility, and vile racism would intimidate us. Our freedom of speech does nothing if it squelches the cruel, mean and vicious. I am reminded of the Jewish lawyer who passionately defended the right of Nazis to march in Skokie IL so long ago. Our freedom of speech protects the detestable as well as the brave.  When those who would organize to foster the bigotry and hate furthered by a President whose name I choose not to speak, we should turn our backs and, instead, speak a message of peace and love. For those of the Christian faith, remember the words of the Savior, not those of those who condemned him.
