I can only speak for myself. I get all riled up because any time some minion of the State decides to try and get away with violating a Constitution right - regardless if it is outrageously egregious like this ESL fiasco or "merely" some cop telling me I cannot OC without a Concealed Handgun Permit*. This outrage will not be allowed to continue, and getting all riled up about it will only make that happen sooner rather than later. But it's the "little" violations that are the most worrying - somebody gets away with some Constitutional right so often they become convinced they can always get away with it, and then they start thinking they can violate even more Constuttional rights. It becomes the Death of a Thousand Cuts - not one of which by itself is really that bad, but when you add them all up ....
I have lived in countries where there are only those privileges that the government sees fit to give you - for now. And I've seen when they decide to take back some of those privileges and the population (notice I do not call them citizens) can do nothing about it. Some folks sasy we here may some day come to that point, but it is going to take a lot to overcome our Constitutional rights if we ever do come to that.
stay safe.
* - Where I live we do not need no steenkin' permits to OC. I hear that in some places you really do need permission.
