A Misconception About Civil Rights


It's about Christian songs, sung by a female busker, and an officer trying to make a difference for the worse.

The officer argued that she couldn't sing "outside of church grounds unless authorised by the church”.


The officer in question is actually enforcing sth totally different from modern laws about free speech.

Now, one could argue, she'd be enforcing what was the Medieval legislation. Well, during the Middle Ages there were no police officers. Cities and country-sides were policed by people doing a well ordered militia.

And during the Middle Ages, people would normally have been hearing Christian songs in Church a lot more than now, so, what the busker was trying to supply is a more recent need.
